This project began as a technical assistance project
with UVM faculty. As the project evolved, it became clear that the women
wanted the skills and knowledge to run their own businesses. In response
to this need UVM faculty organized educational workshops about value-added
processing and marketing such products such as ice cream and candies.
This project links itself to the ecological sugar project by using the
same sugar cane.
