Introduction
Nearly fifteen years ago, co-author, Darla Noble, had some free time at an agricultural/farming expo she was participating in. As she meandered through the other exhibits, she happened onto a short seminar that was just beginning. The name of the seminar, Making Value-added Agriculture Work for You, intrigued her because she wasn’t quite sure what it was.
Within minutes of taking her seat, however, Darla knew she wanted to hear everything Joan Benjamin had to say. The concept of value-added agriculture (VAA) is quite simple, really. It means using what you grow for more than one purpose; increasing its value and your earning potential.
Darla knew, almost immediately, that value-added agriculture was something she could do to make her family’s farm even more profitable. So, that’s exactly what she did. And guess what...so can you!
