Workshop helps Long Creek growers reach out

As a grower and rancher, Long Creek’s Kitty Land is always looking for ways to grow her Long Creek agribusiness. Land and her husband, Ed, own and run Chattooga Belle Farm. The three-year old business offers “u-pick” fields, grass-fed Angus beef, educational farm tours, farm-to-table dinners and more. Kitty Land traveled three hours yesterday to learn about labeling and packaging, food safety standards and certifications, marketing and working with retail buyers and restaurants. The workshop kicked off a new agribusiness program in South Carolina.
