[MPWG] Medicinal herb grower workshop on post-harvest handling Dec. 14

[Jeanine Davis]

Medicinal Herb Growers: Special Event
Focused on Harvesting, Washing, Drying, & Packaging
December 14th from 9 to 4 in Mills River, NC

Many medicinal herb sales are lost because beautifully grown herbs are not
properly washed, dried, or packaged. This workshop will be led by buyers
from Gaia Herbs, Red Moon Herbs, and Strategic Sourcing along with Jeanine
Davis and Alison Dressler from NC State University. This will be a small
event so there can be lots of interaction been the growers and buyers.
Bring your questions, samples of your herbs, and pictures of your
facilities. We will also discuss GAPs, cGMPs, and how FSMA may affect your
medicinal herb business. (If you don’t know what those acronyms stand for,
you really need to be there!). Pre-registration is $20 which includes lunch
(plus a $2.09 Eventbrite fee). Registration at the door is $30 and lunch is
not guaranteed. The event will be held at the Mountain Horticultural Crops
Research and Extension Center in Mills River, NC. There are limited spaces
available so please register early at our Eventbrite page.

If you are interested in sponsoring this event or having an exhibit table,
please contact Alison Dressler at alison_dressler at ncsu.edu or call
828-684-3562 x150.
