SBN’s Local Specialty Crop & Local Food Trade Shows
The 2017 Local Food Trade Shows are designed to facilitate connections and stimulate business relationships between producers and wholesale buyers of local food, with a focus on specialty crop food products in Massachusetts.
This event is ideal for restaurants and institutional buyers interested in trading with local food suppliers and who desire to buy more locally produced products from growers, fishermen, and value added producers from Massachusetts and New England.
Local Specialty Crop Trade Show Exhibitors will include New England based farmers, produce distributors and local specialty crop producers (products made with 50% or more specialty crops also qualify).
This Trade Show is sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources.
Exhibition booths are free for specialty crop farmers and other specialty crop producers.
