For many farmers, producing crops or meat comes more naturally than selling their wares.
But for direct-marketing farmers, interpersonal and even artistic skills can be keys to success. Over 150 people came from around Maryland to the first Southern Maryland Agricultural Marketing Conference on Nov. 15 at the College of Southern Maryland Prince Frederick Campus.
“The conference’s focus on marketing brought incredible knowledge and value to the industry,” said Kevin Atticks, founder of local agritourism and value-added consulting firm Cultivate & Craft.
