Specialty Pork: Growing Flavor, Growing Markets Forum

August 21, 2012, Viroqua, WI

REGISTER ONLINE HERE

Forum Description

A lot is happening in Wisconsin and around the Driftless Region with specialty finished, heritage pork. Heirloom breeds unique finishes, and artisanal processing are coming together in all sorts of ways to give consumers a taste of regional flavor.

The Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems (CIAS) is hosting a one-day forum for farmers, processors, restaurants, and vendors to come together and discuss the state of pork in our region. We will hear from panelists who will share their expertise and experiences, and we will leave plenty of time to discuss what we need from each other and from consumers to establish a regional identity and grow demand for local pork.

Lunch, coffee, and snacks will be provided at this event.
