Join us for the MarketReady Buyer Tour: Lexington

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!
