in scaling, it would be prudent to pursue this project in tandem with the <br />development of one or more producer collaborations and/or food <br />entrepreneurs who can develop a wholesale aggregation program that focuses <br />on volume and also to focus county resources directly on promotion of local <br />beef. <br />Investigate and encourage participation in regional marketing initiatives <br />— the County should continue its investigation of regional and national models <br />for scaling local food and farming businesses. Much can be learned from <br />others' experiences. In the case of meat, models include: Hickory Nut Gap <br />Meats (Asheville), Farmhand Foods (Durham), Good Natured Family Farms <br />(Kentucky), Lorentz Meats and 1,000 Hills Cattle Co (Minnesota). In <br />addition, opportunities exist for Cabarrus farmers to participate in regional <br />marketing programs as a means of scaling their businesses. For example, for <br />those interested in or already raising grass -fed beef, they could consider <br />participating in the Hickory Nut Gap Meats producer network. This would <br />provide an interim means of increasing production to prepare for the Cruse <br />facility and locally -led beef marketing programs. <br />5 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />1 -1 Page 240 <br />
