Event Description

The purpose of this event is to connect local agri-food businesses with local retailers. Many retailers in the area have mentioned they would like to carry more local products, but lack the time or awareness to meet with agri-food businesses in the region. This networking event would allow retailers an opportunity to meet with local agri-food businesses, sample products and get an introduction to the products available. The event is open to primary producers and agri-food processors from the surrounding region.

Space is limited!
