Are You Ready for Cureate Courses?

shutterstock_573112123.jpg

Cureate Courses is for food and farm entrepreneurs looking to diversify their revenue streams and grow into new sales channels. Are you a farmer looking to develop value-add products or grow into wholesale? Or perhaps you’re a caterer, restaurateur or food truck owner who is looking to diversify their revenue streams? You are a food and/or farm entrepreneur, in our local food supply chain, who has been building a business — and now you’re ready to take it to the next level. We have a focus on supporting underrepresented founders, which includes women and BIPOC-owned businesses.

Classes will meet once per week starting the week of January 29, 2024 for 1.5 hours virtually from February-April. We will have an end of program event in April where we will pair the two cohorts together (farmer, caterer) to have a big community food event. At this event, one participant from each cohort will walk away with a $5,000 cash prize.

Applications are now closed. However, you can apply to be notified at a future date.
