Since 1992, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) has proudly hosted this important trade event, connecting Virginia producers directly with buyers representing major grocery stores, specialty gift and gourmet shops, restaurants, schools, food service and tasting rooms. The Expo is also the place to be for farmers’ market managers, food brokers and distributors. Over the years, industry partners have come to rely heavily on the Virginia Food and Beverage Expo to showcase the Best of the Best of Virginia products, including meats, cheeses, soups, seafood, peanuts, pasta, breads, baked goods, sauces, snacks, chocolates, condiments, dressings, beverages, Virginia wines and craft beverages and more! The Virginia Food and Beverage Expo consistently showcases Virginia’s amazing companies and the breadth of their products that reliably prove to be pleasing to the palates of even the most selective connoisseurs. The Food and Beverage Industry is the Commonwealth’s second largest manufacturing sector. Each year it has a direct economic impact of more than $31 billion and employs more than 38,000 Virginians. Additionally, the industry supports thousands more jobs through retailers, logistics providers, packaging companies and, of course, on Virginia farms. Today’s trade event is one of the largest gatherings of Virginia’s Finest® products under one roof. Founded by VDACS to enhance the economic opportunities and success of Virginia’s specialty food companies, processors and agriculture producers, the Virginia’s Finest® Trademark Program celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019. The classic Virginia’s Finest® seal identifies, differentiates and promotes top-quality Virginia agricultural and specialty food and beverage products. Buyers and consumers recognize the blue-and- red “VA checkmark” logo as a sign that they are purchasing the highest quality products, produced and processed right here in Virginia. Please enjoy getting to know our fantastic Virginia exhibitors, and thank you for supporting Virginia agriculture, the Commonwealth’s largest private industry, contributing $70 billion annually to the Commonwealth. 1 www.2020VAExpo.com Exhibitors by Booth 100 Forbes Candies Inc 105 Element Shrub 110 King of Clubs Brewing Taffy, caramels Shrubs for spiritfree drinks, craft Nitro coffee, kombucha, and regular Marty Cochran cocktails & cooking coffee 757-468-6602 Charlie Berkinshaw Melissa Mickles [email protected] 5521 27th St N 5711-32 Richmond Rd forbescandies.com Arlington, VA 22207 Williamsburg, VA 23188 443-370-2037 844-492-8379 101 S Wallace Edwards & [email protected] [email protected] Sons (Edwards Virginia elementshrub.com kobrewing.com Smokehouse) Show Special: Shrubs: free shipping Dry cured, hickory smoked, long aged + 10% off first order.
