Tradeshow Testimonials

 

“When you are busy being a maker and starting a small local food business, it is hard to find the time to travel all over to meet with buyers, and buyers are very busy people as well! FEAST creates a venue where both makers and buyers can be the most efficient with their time.“

—Melissa Driscoll, founder of Seven Songs Organic Farm Garlic Scape Pesto


“The show was an amazing experience... I was able to connect with several producers I hadn’t previously been aware of.  And because of those meetings, Kowalski’s has on-boarded seven new local lines so far.” 

—Britt Lindemann, Kowalski's Grocery/Dairy/Frozen Director

 

"I loved having the physical space and time to talk with each vendor. It was so nice to experience everyone's excitement about the products they offer."

—Erica Olson, Wayzata Schools Nutrition Coordinator
