UGA Extension Food Science organizes a workshop each year for the people of Georgia who would like to get more information on starting a new food business. This workshop covers various topics from Product Development to FDA Regulations to Economics.”Starting a New Food Business in Georgia” is the perfect workshop for anyone who is even considering bringing a product to market.<\/p>\n

This year we worked with Fulton County Extension and FACS Agent Kristen Sumpter to bring our workshop to Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. We had a wide variety of attendees who came with a multitude of questions – good thing we had AWESOME speakers who were prepared with answers.<\/p>\n

“Starting a New Food Business” spans over a period of two full days and is broken down into different sessions such as “Business Planning” and “Regulations & Food Safety Guidelines” during which our speakers give presentations and encourage those attending the workshop to start discussions on the topic. Another session we provide is the Roundtable Discussion – a favorite among all. We try to allot as much time as possible for our attendees to directly ask questions to a select panel of speakers who are extremely knowledgeable on all things small food business because they either A) own one or B) work with people who own one.<\/p>\n

Our goal through this specific workshop is to give attendees as many resources as possible so that we can help them jump-start their journey to a food business with ease. Although it is our shortest workshop and extremely different from the others we hold, “Starting a New Food Business in Georgia” is a fun, information-packed course that deserves much recognition. As a branch of Extension, we strive to help those in the small business food industry of Georgia meet their goals, and we feel that offering this workshop is a great way to do that.<\/p>\n

If you joined us this year, I hope we were able to help you in some way. Without you guys, none of this would be possible!<\/p>\n

BUT If you didn’t and you’re one of those people that I listed above or if you just need to know where to start… keep an eye out on our Upcoming Events<\/a> <\/strong>so you make sure you don’t miss out on “Starting a New Food Business 2019!”<\/p>\n
