Exhibitor Testimonials

“The Good to Grow trade show has been tremendous for us. We talked to amazing buyers–Whole Foods, Choices, the big guys, restaurants, UBC. We would never get those kinds of connections because it takes a lot of phone calls, emails, time and effort. This is something that we get on a platter at the trade show. I’m so grateful for the Good to Grow program that allows small producers to get so much exposure.”

“The From the Ground Up tradeshow gave us an incredible jumpstart into the industry – exposing our product to influencers, institutional foodservice, industry leaders, and retailers, that we would never have been able to get in front of this early into our journey!”

“We had such an amazing time at From The Ground Up Trade Show. Our brand-new line of Magick Lattes were so well-received (guidance from Andrea and her team were key) and we were able to make some amazing connections right out of the gate. Our new connections now have us onboarded into some of the hottest local retailers (including Whole Foods!).”
