Workshops

Starting and growing a food business is hard.

Regulations, seasonal fluctuations, access to commercial equipment, capital and business networks – there are so many barriers to success for growing food businesses.

Our programs provide business fundamentals, information, and connections you need to build a solid foundation for your food business to thrive.

RGKF has partnered with local experts to offer multiple learning opportunities for food entrepreneurs.
