Free workshop offers to help East Sussex Food and Wine producers grow their business
The workshop, which will be held at Rathfinny Wine Estate, near Alfriston, promises to help producers reach new customers through bars, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and wholesalers.
Topics will be inspired by feedback from a recent consultation event, during which 40 food and drink producers across East Sussex discussed their business priorities and listened to expert industry knowledge from a variety of special guests.

Hillary Knight, co-director of Natural Partnerships CIC said “buying local produce becomes ever-more popular as the environmentally friendly choice and it was recognised by the group that producers need to clarify the provenance of their food and tell their story well.
We will also be developing a Meet the Buyer event nearly every year, to help East Sussex producers showcase their produce to buyers across the UK.”
Workshops like this and the Meet the Buyer events described by Hillary Knight are both part of a wider drive by the Good Food Growth project to help support the rural economy and the people who make it work.
