July is Jumping with FoodLink!

FoodLink newsletter picture
Harriet will be giving demonstrations at the downtown Columbus Farmers Market this summer, a great news article on this is here.

Using the resources that you can find here: order more resources from the Ed Store or print items off using our PDF resources, Harriet Armstrong will be sharing ways Indiana can be healthier using the local produce provided by farmers like you.  It is great to see a collaboration like this to reach more people through education in how to use our food and get healthier for it.  

 

    Many producers have been leveraging the FoodLink social media posts to drive consumers to purchase local food.  FoodLink wants to give you great resources to share with your consumers/clients for safe food handling and ideas to store and use the food once it's home. We would love to hear a story in how FoodLink has helped you in your marketing efforts.

First-page Brussel Sprouts recipe card printout with 4 per page
You can find all kinds of recipe cards here!  They can be printed in many different ways, depending on your preference.

   
I wrote an article that focuses on blackberries, tomatoes and blueberries that you as a producer can benefit from reading to share all the resources of FoodLink available to you.  Please take your time to read one of the articles and use the information in how you see fit in your marketing.
