These workshops are for producers and producer groups with a value-added idea they are ready to capitalize on. The workshops will provide an introduction to the VAPG program, examples of projects the program has funded recently, and details on how to complete an application. The goal is to help RI producers and producers groups to gain the skills they need to put together and successfully submit complete applications in 2013.

These are free workshops lasting about 2 hours. Both independent producers and producer groups are eligible. If you want to check your eligibility, you can visit the following website: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rbs/coops/vapgea/step1.htm

If you can make it, please contact Nessa Richman at 240-838-1020 or nessa@brightseedstrategies.com to register. Thank you!
