Bellingham Technical College

The Farm-to-Table Trade Meeting is just 3 weeks away! Register today to save your spot at the biggest food business connections event in NW Washington. REGISTER

Popular Producer/Buyer Consultations – new format this year! Networking is a KEY part of this event, and we’re mixing it up this year with the one-on-one consultation time.
Producers of all kinds (farmers, fishermen, food artisans etc) will be stationed around tables based on the type of products you sell (i.e. mixed vegetables, eggs, chicken, beverages, seafood, etc). Buyers will roam around throughout that hour to sit down and chat with you. We’ll ding a bell every 10 minutes to indicate it’s time to go talk with another business.
What to bring:
• Producers: Bring samples of your products, brochures or photos, crop/product lists, business cards, etc.
• Buyers: Bring business cards and get ready to meet lots of awesome producers!

If you came to the event last year, you know the lunch alone is worth attending!
