Grow to Love Campaign….
Do you struggle to sell gluts of produce? Do you find less well known varieties of fruit and vegetables more difficult to sell?
Come and join Horticulture Wales for the launch of the new Grow to Love campaign! Aimed at developing communication between growers and consumers to encourage consumers to purchase more delicious, fresh, local produce, find out how the first phase of this campaign can help your business:
• A marketing and merchandising workshop by Sian Roberts of Howel Food Consultancy – lots of useful tips, advice and interactive activities
• Receive a pack of the new Grow to Love product cards with information on a selection of fruit and vegetables including interesting facts, preparation and recipe ideas
• Tasting session – interesting twists on familiar vegetables!
The event is at The Shippon Restaurant, Plassey Leisure Park, Eyton, Wrexham LL13 0SP and starts at 10.30am until approximately 2.30pm.
Attendance is free and lunch will be provided. Places are limited so please reserve your place by email horticulturewales@glyndwr.ac.uk or call 01978 293967 by Wednesday, 7th December. A full itinerary will be provided nearer the time.
