A new series of virtual tasting events is connecting Vermont specialty food producers with retailers interested in carrying their products something that has been challenging during the coronavirus pandemic.
The business development series, developed by the Vermont Retail and Grocers Association and the Vermont Specialty Food Association, is essentially a virtual trade show that uses the mail to enable buyers to sample wholesalers’ products.
“Being able to connect with people, especially right now in a wholesale market, it’s been difficult,” said Al Wood of Wood’s Vermont Syrup Company in Randolph, who participated in Thursday’s inaugural virtual tasting.
