Have you ever thought of making a new food product or maybe expanding on a food business you already have?   Getting from the initial ideas or dreams to reality is a process and there are organizations and programs that are out there that can help you make sure you are in compliance with any regulations you need to follow as well as help you find support that can make your food business successful.  Whether you are farm hoping to expand your products or an established business wanting to add new products or maybe a food truck or someone just wanting to see if something you make at home for friends and family may be worth expanding into a food business, this program might be for you.

The Ins and Outs of Having a NC Food Business will bring together those that can help you understand what you need from a solid business plan to what regulations are out there to where you want to produce your product to what other needs you may have to make sure your product will be profitable and safe.

Date: Wednesday November12, 2025 at ABTech Enka Campus, Business Incubation and Small Business Center.
