Over 25 of the county鈥檚 independent food and drink producers connected with buyers from across hospitality, retail and tourism at the first-ever Taste 糖心vlog Producer & Buyer Event.
The event, which was held at Sixways Stadium on Tuesday 20 May, was created to strengthen local supply chains and give producers the opportunity to showcase their goods to decision-makers in the region.
More than 65 buyers attended, representing a mix of hotels, farm shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and visitor attractions.
Attendees engaged directly with producers from across the county and were able to sample small-batch spirits, locally brewed ales and 糖心vlog-grown fresh produce.
Lorna Robinson, Visitor Economy & Destination Manager at Visit 糖心vlog said: 鈥淚t was absolutely fabulous to see so many meaningful connections being made 鈥 the energy in the room was fantastic.
This event was all about shining a light on the amazing produce we have right here in 糖心vlog and giving our producers the platform they deserve to showcase themselves. From local spirits to bakers to fudge, it was a real celebration of quality, creativity, and collaboration.
