Program Update as of October 2010

Prepared by: Grace Mutua. Macomb County MSUE Extension Educator & Agriculture Economic Development Specialist.

Agri-Business program goals: My goal is to focus on addressing issues identified by local stakeholders with the guidance of a local Advisory team. It is with this in mind that I have planned a stakeholder focus group meeting in early November to identify common issues and focus areas related to food and agri-business in Macomb County. I will draw from the findings of this meeting (and others), with guidance from the Advisory team to develop a comprehensive Agri-business economic development plan for Macomb County.

However, my tentative goals include: o Increase economic viability o Foster job creation in the agriculture and food sectors o Increase agriculture and food related businesses o Foster regional collaboration

Selected September I October Activities o Provided research and information for the Achatz Pie Company, a local food

business interested in expanding their food business.

o Contributed to the Macomb County Farmers Market 2010 grant application, focusing on the educational component of the grant requirement.

o Visited the Mt. Clemens Farmers' market and met with vendors and Mr. Dale, the market manager. Explored challenges, expectations and educational needs for the vendors as well as the market in general. One of the key issues that came up was the need for information and education on the new Cottage Food Law. Also met Chef Miller and will be working with him on his business expansion plans.

o Visited farmers and agriculture businesses in the County, exploring challenges, concerns and expectations as we move forward with the new position. Some of the items identified include: limited credit for farming activities, weather and climatic challenges, marketing, use of technology to market (especially the internet as a marketing tool). This information will be incorporated into the findings of the November focus group meeting.

o Attended and participated in the Macomb MSUE Food systems meeting.

o Met with the SBTDC staff to explore our roles / duties and possible areas of collaboration on existing and future programs.

o Attended the Farmer's Bureau annual meeting.

Planned Programs / Activities 1) AGRI FOOD FOCUS GROUP 1\ffiETING: November 2010 Two key expected outcomes: Create a shared vision for agri-business and create an Advisory Team to guide agri-business related activities in Macomb County.

This focus group meeting will help: » Establish direction for ongoing activities. » Identify areas of need and expected results. };> Establish a common sense of purpose (vision). » Provide guidelines and expectations for programming. };> Develop a comprehensive Agri-business economic development plan for

Macomb County.

2) FOOD RELATED BUSINESS WORKSHOP SERIES (these will cover a variety of business related education programs such as understanding the new Cottage Food Law, product definition, business planning, target market and pricing, record keeping, risk management, budgeting / credit management, and food safety).

Session 1: December 13th, 2010 Session 2: December 201h

, 2010 Session 3: January 10th
