The agenda includes information on grant writing and the application process finding available funding resources, info on rural development resources. In addition Kevin and Patrick Webber, founders of the Four Points Energy Bars will talk about how they started and how they've grown their company's success.
Business Development Specialist with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, Danielle Trotta says the workshops will hopefully allow entrepreneurs to spend a short amount of time gaining the most knowledge available for each business development topic to be able to have their businesses grow and thrive. The speakers are actively engaged in the food system, and they are excited to share their expertise with others."
