Flower Hill Institute and Tuskegee University joined MPPTA partner, Farmer’s Outreach Solutions for their 2nd Annual Harvest Ball to connect with southern farmers and ranchers looking to expand their meat and poultry operations.
“Our team had the privilege of attending the 2nd Annual Harvest Ball in Raleigh, NC, from November 3rd to 5th. This event provided a unique platform to connect with farmers and processors from across the country. The interactions were enriching and laid the groundwork for potential future collaborations. We were able to speak and provide information about the technical assistance services we provide to 150 people.” —Tuskegee University, MPPTA
