National Good Food Network Webinar
Two Revolutionary Tools for Beginning Farmers
Thursday, November 17
3:30 - 4:45pm ET
Time and time again we hear that amongst the biggest hurdles for beginning farmers are designing
a business model which creditors will fund, and creating a comprehensive
food safety plan for their farm. Each of the online tools presented on this webinar addresses one of those hurdles.
Farm Credit Council and the National Good Food Network have teamed up to create a website designed to illustrate the myriad ways that farmers have been successful in the "The Field Guide to the New American Foodshed." Many different routes into many different
markets are explained, and then illustrated with case studies of actual farms and other businesses using each model. Designed for farmers and those who might provide credit to farmers, this tool helps people to "speak the same language."
FamilyFarmed.org, with support from the Wallace Center, has developed an on-farm food safety tool. By answering a series of questions about their operations, farmers can have this website generate all of the documentation and forms for a complete food safety
plan. This is the first tool of its kind.
Learn about these amazing new tools, their background and get a sense for how they start to change the landscape for a regional food system.

Financing Food Hubs: Dozens of Ideas to Access Capital
The National Food Hub Collaboration assembled a panel of funding experts to illustrate the many conventional and unconventional ways food hubs can secure needed capital. Three hubs from across the country, each quite different from each other, described their
operation and their capital needs. Then our expert panel advised each hub in turn on how to best access grants, loans, and other creative financing sources appropriate to that hub (and those similar to that hub).
