Ornigourmet 1.8

In a small community, such as Tisdale, local businesses are the back bone of our community. In developing the Business Club, we are giving opportunities to young individuals to experience entrepreneurship. With 19 members, grades ten to twelve, we are one of the largest clubs in our school. So far we have had presentations from small business owners, human resource workers and visited our local bank branch. It has furthered our knowledge of loans, business plans, and business practices. As an important part of every agenda, we are meeting and learning from very successful entrepreneurs from our community.
The project we have decided to move forward with will focus on our goal of using products that are grown by local producers, has a definite benefit to the community, has the ability to become a long term business, and we will involve other community partners.
Our project involves a creation of a nutritious bird seed mix, using locally grown and processed seeds. Out of the seed varieties available to us product research will help us decide what the most nutritious mix will be for the general population of birds. We have to develop a packaging, marketing, and distribution strategy. Our goal is to market the product not only locally but throughout the province.
