Join us for the MarketReady Buyer Tour: Louisville
Join us for the MarketReady Buyer Tour in Louisville, KY!
Tour Information: During the tour, we will visit 3 or 4 buyers in the Louisville 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.
Logistics: The tour will start at the Kentucky Farm Bureau Office on Bunsen Parkway. The tour will begin promptly at 9 am. From the Office, we will be carpooling [it is optional, but transportation will be provided] to each buyer location. You can drive yourself if you wish. Lunch will be provided and sourced from a local restaurant. We will end the tour at the Kentucky Farm Bureau Office at 3 pm.
