Description

The motivation for this project came from seeking other options to sell Agua Gorda’s products in and around Long Prairie, Minnesota. We used a 60 mile radius to determine the region for our market analysis and the following question to guide the research project: How can Agua Gorda Cooperative use a marketing strategy and a regional market analysis to illustrate the value of their farm to the community, build partnerships with stakeholders, and take advantage of the social and capital resources available to farmers in the region? As part of this project, I completed a literature review, conducted 39 interviews, participated in 5 webinars, organized an undergraduate internship to support Agua Gorda this summer, and continue to have conversations with stakeholders with regards to Agua Gorda’s objectives to share resources and sustain the energy of this project.
