April 14, 2026

Purdue Extension is hosting a Market Ready workshop on May 14 (9 am–2:30 pm) at the Shelby County Extension Office, 20 W. Polk St., Suite 201, Shelbyville.

Market Ready is a nationally recognized program that helps local food and farm entrepreneurs enter wholesale market channels — including schools, restaurants, distributors, and grocery stores — through sessions covering product readiness, food safety, insurance, and buyer expectations. A buyer panel will be included, and lunch is provided.

Thanks to sponsorship from the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, registration is free for eligible applicants (local food/farm businesses currently selling or intending to expand into wholesale markets). Others may register for $50. Participation is open to anyone regardless of location. Registration deadline is May 7.
