Are you interested in purchasing local food for your business? Are you currently purchasing local food but need more suppliers? Are you interested in selling your local food to wholesale markets? Yes, then this event is for you!

This annual event gives buyers and producers the opportunity to meet in person to make connections, learn about products available, and products buyers are interested in. Every buyer talks to every producer during the event. 

January 24, 2024 8:30-10:30 a.m. Diamond Event Center (5307 Caraway Ln) in Cedar Falls.

There is no cost to attend. RSVP here by January 22nd at midnight. 

In 2023 we had sixteen local food buyers and ten local food producers attend the annual networking event. Both buyers and producers found the event valuable. One buyer stated “We got to meet a lot of new people but also check-in with relationships we already have. We will further the conversation to see if we can increase local food purchases. ” and a producer stated “We got to share our new products and got to know the different businesses and their needs or what they are looking for.”
