Value-adding your products- May 24, 2007 (Directions)
Value added refers to the additional value created at a particular stage of production.  In this case, Imladris farm will be sharing their working knowledge of jams and jellies preparations.  This session will be located at the Blue Ridge Food Ventures, our local incubator kitchen.  Blue Ridge Food Ventures is located in the Small Business Incubator Building on the A-B Tech Enka Campus in Asheville, NC.
