Presidents Message
Happy New Year!
As part of the saying, out with the old, this will be my last letter as President andin February we will sadly have to say goodbye to a few dedicated board veter-ans. Their experience, savvy and humour will be greatly missed. It has been apleasure working with the whole board for the past 2 years. And with the new,as soon to be past president, I do look forward to working with the new mem-bers that will be joining the board in February. The strength of this organizationis the depth of the membership and their willingness to help one another. Whata diverse and talented membership we have to draw from!
The glue that really holds the whole organization together is our Executive Di-rector, Cathy. While as members we are all focused on our own businessesand challenges, Cathy is always looking out for the interests of all the membersas a whole. She is continually looking for ways to help to advance our industryand our bottom line. We are so lucky to have such a dedicated and knowledge-able woman at the helm of OFFMA. She has made my tenure as President awonderful and valuable learning experience and for the most part been able to
make me look good. Thank you Cathy!!
The climax of the year happens at the Ontario Fruit & Vegetable Conventionwith the OFFMA Summit (yes, even protein farmers should attend see DanaThatcher comments in newsletter). John Stanley will be joining us for the pre-convention workshop on Tuesday and the launch of his new book on Wednes-day. You really dont want to miss the convention this year.
If you have any ideas you feel would help direct farm businesses, please pre-sent them to any board member or Cathy. The Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Con-vention in Niagara Falls is a great place to do this. Together, lets move forward
building our business, industry and our association.
See you in February!

Top Food Trends for 2015
Can you incorporate any into your farm market?
1 - Smoky Flavors- get ready for new found smokiness as chefs start to developstronger techniques for adding wonderfully smoky flavours to foods
smoked vegetables, butters and even cocktails in 2015.
2 Kalettes or Kale Sprouts - this is an entirely new hybrid vegetable - a cross
between brussels sprouts and kale. . Their flavor is peppery and theirtexture crisp. You can use them like you'd use kale -- in salads or sauted
with olive oil and garlic.
3 - Same Day Food Delivery- We'll see the expansion of same-day food delivery
from companies like Peapod, FreshDirect, Amazon Fresh and Instacart.
And the meal delivery service Blue Apron will spread in the U.S.
4 - Broth- or the idea of sipping broth for health benefits is something to expect.Apparently well all be standing around drinking fresh bone broth and
products like chicken and lemon grass broth in a carton.
5 - Souping - Souping is said to be next years juicing a quick, easy and healthy
way to incorporate nutrient and vitamin-stuffed vegetables into your diet,without all the sugar and salt of packaged shop versions. Unlike with
juicing, you also don't lose any of that all-important fibre.
6 - Grains - You may have only just learned how to say quinoa but that's a 2014
grain, instead, look out for Kaniwa and Teff. Food companies will be
offering more ways to get your plant protein on in the form of ancientgrains such as freekeh, barley and farro. We'll also see more sprouted grainproducts, as they boost the protein content of breads, wraps and flours.
Kashi will debut a new sprouted grain cereal in March.
7 - Fermented Foods- Fermentation is hardly new - people have been preserving
their food for thousands of years - but its a trend that is likely to explode
in 2015. Fermented foods are full of good probiotic bacteria that canhelp your digestion.
8 - Pistachios- apparently the new nut of the year will be the Pistachio so get
ready for Pistachio butters, spreads, drips, oils and of course milks. Lookfor the little green nut in sauces, on pizza, mixed into guacamole and even
folded into pancake batter.
9 - Local and sustainable - More than ever, consumers are interested in finding
out where their food comes from. The U.S. National Restaurant
Association suggests locally sourced meats and seafood, locally grownproduce and environmentally sustainable foods are the top three food
trends for 2015. Also making the list is reducing food waste, farm/estate
branded items, artisan foods and vegetarian cuisine.

The OFFMA Summit: Something for Everyone
February 17th-19
th
, 2015
by Dana Thatcher of Thatcher Farms Butcher Shop,
Bakery and Country Store.
For years my husband and I belonged to OFFMA, andevery year we would receive the information package
about the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Convention in
Niagara. Every year we felt that it did not directly apply
to our on-farm business because we did not grow fruits or vegetables, we
retail our home-grown meats. That is, until I became an OFFMA board
member and was strongly encouraged to attend. WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!!
We were most pleasantly surprised. Not only does the Convention directly
and meaningfully apply to our business but it is also THE place to be for
networking with the BEST of the BEST in the farm marketing industry!!!
We were blown away by the two day OFFMA Summit held in conjunction
with the Fruit and Veg Convention, as well as the pre-convention workshop
that OFFMA always outdoes itself on, offering expert speakers from
around the world to address our on-farm market needs.
This will be our third year attending the pre-convention workshop, summit
and convention, and it is something that we look forward to and always try
to include our employees in as well. The two day OFFMA Summit is an
enormous, eclectic mix of business-minded people sharing their expertise
and passion for on-farm marketing. From fruits and vegetables, to Bee-
Keeping, Bakeries, School Tours, photography, work/life/balance, meatand protein, birthday parties and of course agri-tourism, there is absolute-
ly something for everyone focusing on the many diverse areas the on-farm
market offers.
Three days of listening to and networking with people who love what they
do, not only inspires us, but motivates us to go home to our farm and to be
the best that we can possibly be within our business. And that is what
OFFMA strives to do for its members; To inspire and to educate with the
end result being that we are better able to offer our customers the abso-
lute best farm and food experience possible. The OFFMA Summit will notdisappoint. This is mine and my husbands annual holiday that we look
forward to every New Year. Good thing we love what we do, and a working
holiday is just what we need to set us up for another successful year on
our busy farm.
We hope to see you there!!!

Roundtable Topics for the OFFMA SUMMITBy Jesse Lauzon
It's no secret that one of OFFMA's greatest assets as an organization is the will-ingness of its members to share their stories in the spirit of teaching and contrib-uting to the success of others. As a result, it's no surprise that one of the most
popular features of our annual OFFMA Summit at the OFVC is the roundtable ses-sion at the end of Day 1. These talks provide an amazing opportunity to gatherand discuss the current best ideas in our industry.
Over the years, I've been inspired by these roundtable talks to look at how to im-prove the way I see pricing, costing, hiring, training, social media, events, schooltours, and even our packaging. I'm always especially impressed at the franknessand honesty of these discussions. Sometimes we hear about things that really didnot work - at all - and these are often the most valuable lessons to learn.
Here are the roundtable topics up for discussion this year at the OFFMA Summit:
1. Making Money 101 - Best Business Idea of 2014
2 Menu Pricing for Profit
3. Hosting Profitable Events on the Farm4. New Ideas in Customer Service
As always, come prepared to give as good as you get - bring your questions andyour ideas! Take lots of notes but don't worry - the roundtable moderators will betaking good notes which will be sent to you if you sign up to receive them at yourtable.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Launching at the OFFMA Summit on Wednesday
Food Tour ismA Practical Marketing Guideby John Stanley and Linda Stanley, John Stanley Associates,
Australia
A vital guide to the development and direction of one ofthe fastest growing sectors in tourism.
The fastest growth in tourism is the culinary sector. Coveringfarmers markets, taste tours, agri-tainment, glamping, restau-rants, farm shops and more, food tourism has become both animportant part of holidaying and a purpose in itself. With growthoccurring in most developed countries and tourists searchingout food tourism throughout the world, this book provides anoverall direction to the development of food tourism and alsoincludes a section on the future of this trend. Featuring contribu-
tions from David Wearing, Griffith University, Australia and Ste-phen Smith, University of Waterloo, Canada, this is a vital newstudy in a vibrant and growing field that should be requiredreading for tourist boards, owners and managers of retail farm operations, farmassociation members and anyone with an interest in driving increased visitornumbers to a region through food tourism.John Stanley is always at the forefront of change in the horticultural and agricul-tural industry around the world. Considered by many to be the worlds leadinghorticultural consultant due to the sizeable economic returns he helps his clientsachieve, he has been described by his clients as The Retail Guru.
What are the experts saying about Food Tourism?
John Stanley is the clearly the worlds foremost expert on farm retailing. Iknow of no one else with his breadth of experience worldwide. He is passion-ate about food retailing and working with farm family businesses. He contin-ually keeps abreast of changes in the fast paced electronic world that welive in. The fact that he is releasing a book on food tourism is a testament tothe fact that he has identified this as an emerging trend important to farmmarketers. Its a book Ill want to read.Morris Gervais Barrie Hill Farms, Barrie, Ontario
This impressive work by John Stan ley and Linda S tanley, The Retail Guru Duo is
a comprehensive guide to all topics related to Food Tourism. It is the Go T o book for
valuable and timely discussion on every aspect of retailing food. How, why, when,
where and what, are only the 5 usual questions asked and answered. There is so much
more. If you produce or sell food, not only do you want a copy of this book, you NEED
a copy

swer questions you may have. Con-
sider these creative approaches to
collecting data from fellow direct
farm marketers:
What do you like on your pizza?
What are your cider drinking habits?
Spirit Tree Estates Cidery used expe-
riential tasting nights with custom-
ers to help build their inaugural piz-
za menu. They have also used blind
cider tasting events to learn more
about customers preferences for
the finer details of their products.
Do you prefer your beets loose, in
baskets, or in bags?
Murphys Farm Market and Bakery
combines experimentation with
analysis of point-of-sale records to
answer questions about customer
preferences. Instead of asking them
what they prefer, give them options
and let the sales speak for them-
selves.
How many years have you been shop-
ping at the market?
The Outdoor Market at Covent Gar-
den Market in London uses a bean
poll (or bean counter if you prefer)
to learn basic information about
their customers through multiple
choice
questions.
A chalk-
board,
glass jars,and dried
beans are
all that is
required
to set-up a
bean poll
of your
own!

Business intelligence is an umbrella
term for something that most entre-
preneurs do every day without even
realising it. It is all about collectingand processing information as it re-
lates to your industry, your sector,
your business, and your customers.
Your involvement with OFFMA is one
of the best ways to stay current on
industry information, build relevant
networks, and compare your busi-
ness to others to constantly improve.
If youre conducting business intelli-gence to answer a specific question,
we typically call it marketing re-
search. Marketing research includes
five key steps:
1.Identify the problem:Ask this as a
question that you are trying to
find an answer to.
2.Devise the research plan:Deter
mine the best way to collect
the data required to answer
the question.
3.Collect data:Be sure to explore
free information sources and
look for creative ways to
incorporate data collection
into existing processes to
minimize cost.
4.Analyze data:Data analysis will de-
pend on what data you collect-
ed and how you collected it.
5.Report and interpret results:Work
with your business team to in- terpret the results of the data
and decide what they mean for
your business.
Often marketing research is associat-
ed with surveys, but there are many
creative ways to get information from
within your business in order to an-

Meet Your New Cash RegisterA POS (Point of Sale) system could be the answer to many issues that youhave with the retail side of your business. And if you go portable then you cangain access to every customer who walks through your doors.
Long lines can very quickly equal lost sales as customers get frustrated whilewaiting. An overabundance of paperwork can cause headaches for any busi-ness owner. And how about the amount of time and effort you spend on manag-ing every detail of your employees?
Retail Transactions, Inventory Management, Employee Management, CustomerTracking, Reporting and Analytics can all be optimized by incorporating a POSsystem.
Cutting down on your time and money while collecting data securely on custom-ers, inventory and employees; a POS system is rarely unnecessary in today's
market.
