Join us for the MarketReady Buyer Tour in Lexington, KY!

Tour Information: During the tour, we will visit 3 or 4 buyers in the Lexington area to see what happens behind the back doors! The buyers are to-be-determined; however, they will include a restaurant, a grocery/retail market, and a farm-to-school buyer. 

The Buyer Tour allows growers and producers to get a behind-the-scenes look at what happens at these various marketplaces. Growers and producers can ask questions, talk with buyers, and get first-hand experience with what it is like to sell to a restaurant, grocery/retail store, or farm-to-school buyer. 

Producers as well as technical assistance providers are encouraged to join!

Cost: This event will be free-of-charge but does require an RSVP. Because this tour is limited on available seats -- make sure to secure your spot today! RSVP via the webform below. You MUST RSVP by July 31st. The webform will close at 12:00 pm on Monday, July 31st. 

Logistics: The tour will start at the Fayette County Extension Office. The tour will begin promptly at 9 am.
