A note for local buyers:
Savvy restaurants are choosing to buy locally for a number of reasons—local foods offer premium taste, maximum freshness and keep dollars in our local economy. Not to mention, many customers think buying local foods is important and beneficial to the well being of their families and communities. We ask that only buyers committed to buying locally produced foods register for this event.
