Marketing the Native Understory: Selling Driftless Hazelnuts, Aronia and Mushrooms Direct to Chefs
Viroqua, WI
Hazelnuts and aronia are newly emerging, cultivated woody perennial crops in the Upper Midwest, and wild mushrooms are part of a long tradition of foraging in this region. These forest products can help chefs create locally-sourced signature dishes, and can help landowners supplement and diversify their income. This workshop will address the marketing of these crops through panel discussions and a tour of the largest hazelnut planting in Wisconsin.
The registration fee for this event is $10. Space is limited to the first 80 people to register.
