There are always concerns about health regulations and in the third seminar, Bob Worse11, public health inspector with the Huron County Health Unit will address these. He'll discuss what steps entrepreneurs need to go through in meeting the regulatory require- ments for food processing. The fourth seminar deals with Co-operative Approaches to the Marketing of Food — A Panel of Success Stories. The panel will include Doug Avery who is involved in the innovative Agricultural Marketing for Eastern Ontario (AMEO) under which producers had banded together to seek new markets they couldn't serve by themselves. Also speaking will be Harro Wehrmann of the OntarBio Co-op at Durham, an association of organic grain producers. Bruce Schmidt, an organizer of the All Jersey Dairy Co-operative which seeks new markets for Jersey milk will also speak. The panelists will provide examples of organizations that are working together to further market opportunities for Ontario-grown food products. Insights into their trials and successes will be highlighted. The food fair operates from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Blyth and District Community with many of the nearly 30 exhibitors offering free food samples and recipes — everything from eggs and cheese to wild boar and emu.
