Marketing

A resource for producers wishing to develop a marketing strategy.

Points to consider when marketing your produce:

• Have you done your research?  Proper preparation is essential!  We've already done some of the research for you--visit our marketing resources page for a list of resources the TFA holds on marketing.

• Canada No. 1 or Canada No. 2?  Does your produce conform to National Grading Standards?  The TFA is currently researching the practicality of creating our own set of grading standards for member producers. 

• Organic?  Is your produce grown organically?  Do your production techniques conform to National Organic Agriculture Standards (.pdf format, Adobe Acrobat required)?  The TFA is currently researching our own Organic Agriculture Standards for member producers.

• Packaging.  The TFA is in the process of creating new "Northwest Territories Grown" promotional labels for produce and produce packaging.  If you are interested in obtaining a bundle of our old labels (click here for a scanned look) contact us.  If you are considering creating labels for your produce or processed product visit our packaging resource page.
