  • Huron County Food Hub Research – Growing the Network
    FARM AND FOOD CONSULTING Huron County Food Hub Feasibility Research Project : Growing the Network Joan Brady 12/31/2015 Huron County Food Hub Research – Growing the Network The purpose of the Huron County Food Hub Feasibility Project was borrowed from a similar project in Perth County. Authors: Ryan Turnbull, Mary Ferguson, Cathy Lang stated that the purpose of the Perth County Regional Food Hub Feasibility Study was “to test the hypothesis that there is unmet market demand for local fresh food products in the County and that the demand could be met by linking markets with the underutilized production capacity of local producers and value-added agri-businesses. The broader assumption has been that creating local infrastructure to manage distribution and broker relationships between food producers and large scale customers is an effective strategy to bolster the County’s local economy.” Operating under the same hypothesis in Huron, this research project seeks additional information to suggest some practical aspects that should be considered assuming the hypothesis is proven true. Research was conducted by Consultant Joan Brady, of Sustainable Futures – Farm and Food Consulting with support from the Huron Food Action Network Steering Committee which acted as the project oversight committee. Additional project administration and oversight was provided by Huron Business Development Corporation as project lead. Preliminary Business Case A full business case describes, in detail, the objectives, outcomes and financial requirements to initiate a project. It is used to justify the expenditure of time, money and resources into a project by outlining the benefits that the project will bring. In the case of the Huron County Food Hub Feasibility Project, a preliminary business case has been developed to both indicate the feasibility of establishing a food hub for Huron County and to suggest the most plausible project design at this time.
