Hey all,Exciting events this past week: Senator Leahy came to Vermont Soy to hold a press conference regarding the Food Venture Center. The Senator announced funding for the Food Venture Center, which will soon be moving up to Hardwick, right across from Vermont Soy. The Center is a certified kitchen and incubator for small businesses. For example- if you are a small farmer and want to produce pesto out of the basil that you grow, you can't make it in your personal kitchen and then sell it in markets around the area. You would have to make that pesto in a certified kitchen, which many small farmers and producers do not have the resources to do. And that's where the Food Venture Center comes in. You can rent time and space at the Center, and produce your pesto in a certified kitchen without having to build one yourself. The FVC also provides consulting for small businesses- both businesses that are already established and businesses that are still in the works.
Senator Leahy is excited about the Food Venture Center, and it was wonderful to have his support of the project.
Check out some of these pictures from the event above! More pictures will follow.
Be well everyone,
Beth
