The path to a successful food business is through education specifically designed for food entrepreneurs and growers
Growing a food business is no easy task! Regulations, insurance, pricing, operational choices, and sales can make your head spin. At times, it feels like you don’t even know what you don’t know!
The Mill River School can help with all that and more!
The educational programs at the Mill River School are tailored explicitly to food entrepreneurs. You have mastered your craft, but do you understand what it takes to make your business successful? The Mill River School offers educational programs for food entrepreneurs at any business development stage.
- Start-ups: We’ll help you put together your business plan so you start off on the right foot. You’ll get all the business basics to effectively start and grow your food business.
- Solopreneurs: You want to build a business, not simply have a job. Master the business skills you’ll need to scale up operations, hire staff, and improve your profitability.
- Established businesses: Time to expand your market presence. Learn the steps to building out an additional location, finding a co-manufacturer, or even how to get your product into wholesale.
