As DOI I work to secure marketing technical assistance contracts with non-profit organizations, government agencies, economic development organizations, and other community impact partners. These partnerships allow us to provide subsidized, high-quality marketing services for farms and local food businesses so they can serve more customers, hit higher revenue goals, and see greater longterm success. This allows local food systems, and the people working in them, to thrive!
