Dear Stephen,
Welcome to our newly designed Food Entrepreneur eZine (FE)!!
We are updating our various mailing lists. If you receive the November Food Entrepreneur eZine with incorrect or out of date contact information, please let us know. Many thanks!
Our newsletter format has been modified to better communicate with you. We know most readers decide which articles interest them in the first two minutes of opening an e-mail, so you should be able to navigate the topics more quickly and get to the articles that interest you most. Please let us know your thoughts on the new format.

NOTES AND COMMENT from Steve
- Please let us know what do you want to know about food production? In response to a growing interest in learning more about producing, as opposed to marketing, specialty foods, we have invited Virginia Tech Senior Laboratory Specialist Joell Eifert to give us a hand. So please continue to submit your production-related questions. Dr. Eifert's commentary will begin in the next issue of FE.
- Attention Farmers - Selling produce at Farm Stands and Farmers Markets is only the first level in marketing value-added products. Your ability to sustain your farm operation will depend on the higher revenue potential from marketing retail-packaged food products. Ask your state department of agriculture to sponsor one of our Specialty Food Marketing Workshops. More information.
- Food Entrepreneur Blog: Our discussion forum/blog has 149 members. Why not join and grow from sharing your ideas and questions among your fellow Food Entrepreneurs?
Cheers,
Steve
