Boone Street Market of Jonesborough will be our host, at Old Quarters (123 East Main Street), so come out to see how you can become a vendor, or buy from, this unique store that sources everything from within 100 miles.
After all, LOCAL is BIG and it’s here to stay. if you are a grower, selling your product profitably to new markets is all about making relationships with buyers… Whether you are a serious seasoned grower or an aspirational one, all are welcome.
And if you are a buyer (such as a chef or distributor or grocer or nutritional coordinator), securing reliable high quality product to impress your customers is all about making relationships with growers. Whether you are the chef at an all-local eatery, or one who wants a piece of the local movement, all are welcome.
All attendees will been given the chance to rotate around and talk with everyone else. Refreshments featuring local seasonal ingredients will be provided by Boone Street Market and Main Street Cafe.
