SUMMARY:Food Manufacturing for Farmers
DESCRIPTION:About this workshop: A farmer-to-farmer workshop and roundtable on creating value-added products from your produce\, and making the most of the equipment and resources available to grow your business and extend your season. Featuring a presentation from Joel Mowery (Smokin J’s Fiery Foods)\, and a facility tour of WNC FoodWorks\, a nonprofit food business incubator and production facility located at the WNC Farmers Market. \n \nWhat you’ll learn: How to get started making (or scale up an existing home production of) value added foods such as jams\, jellies\, pickles\, hot sauces\, syrups\, pies\, etc. that diversify your market offerings & revenue streams\, make high-value products out of less-than-perfect produce\, and prevent food waste. \n \nYou’ll hear from and get to talk shop with an experienced farmer who’s built a business from raw startup\, to producing in a shared kitchen\, to buying & outfitting his own production space just down the road from the farm. \n \nYou’ll also get a chance to talk with professional food production facility managers who can help you understand what kinds of equipment might be a good fit for products you’re considering making (or scaling up)\, and how to ensure that you’re following food safety best practices and minimizing risk\, while maximizing the return on your time and hard-earned money.\n \nWho should attend: Farmers who are either looking to start selling value-added products\, or wanting to scale up an existing home production.\n \nCost: Nothing! This is a free workshop\, made possible through a collaboration between ASAP\, Mountain BizWorks\, and the Center for Agricultural & Food Entrepreneurship\, and funded via a grant from the Southern Risk Management Education Center.

DESCRIPTION:When is the right time to form an entity and which kind should I form? \nSome entrepreneurs exuberantly throw open their doors without much analysis\, others research the start-up process to death.

SUMMARY:Legal Entity Workshop with Pisgah Legal Services (Virtual Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:When starting a business\, the most important decision relating to taxes is the type of legal structure you select for your company. \nNot only will this decision impact how much you pay in taxes\, but also the amount of paperwork your business is required to do\, the personal liability you face\, and your ability to raise money. \nThe most common forms of business are sole proprietorships\, partnerships\, corporations and S corporations. A more recent development to these forms of business is the limited liability company (LLC) and the limited liability partnership (LLP). Because each business form comes with different tax consequences\, you will want to make your selection wisely and choose the structure that most closely matches your business’s needs. \nJoin us for this FREE one hour informational session with Justin Edge\, attorney from Pisgah Legal Services to get an overview of the different types of legal entities and determine which one is right for your business. \nThis event is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. \nRegister here.  \nThe event will be held virtually\, via the videoconferencing platform Zoom. You will receive information on how to join the event after registering.
