Are you considering adding value added products to your inventory? Want to hear from farmers that have taken the leap? Join us for this panel discussion where we will hear from 3 farmers who produce value added products; what do they produce, how did they start out, and what advice would they give to those in the planning stages. A recording of this webinar will be available.
Panelists: Steve D’Alimonte, Picollo Farm Organics, Guelph; others TBA
Piccolo Farm Organics (PFO) is owned and operated by Steve D’Alimonte and Lisa Lopez in the backyard of their property in Guelph. On a quarter of an acre, PFO aims to demonstrate that by using non-mechanized and regenerative farming methods, food can be flavourful and healthy to both people and planet. PFO is also a celebration of heritage by showing that culturally specific vegetable varieties from around the world can and should be grown locally. PFO primarily grows Italian varieties of vegetables or vegetables commonly used in Italian cuisine. They also offer focaccia, pasta and sauces made with ingredients grown on the farm.
