The programme, starting again in the new year, will focus on artisan food producers.
The agri-food sector is big business and now 10 new artisan food producers will have the chance of free, practical support from the Journey to Market Programme.

Running from January to March, the aim of the programme is to give budding entrepreneurs the skills needed to set up and grow their own artisan food producing business with help developing, marketing and test trading their products.

“The Causeway Coast and Glens area is rich in natural resources and is a perfect place for establishing an artisan food business. We have many outstanding agri-food companies in our borough already and this is an important initiative to boost the local economy and our burgeoning tourist industry by offering quality, fresh handmade produce,” said the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Michelle Knight-McQuillan.
