- **Event Name**: Roots and Grains RVA Grower-Buyer Social

- **Event Description**: Are you growing vegetables or grains? Growing organically or thinking about making the transition? Ready to scale up or find new market outlets? If you answered yes to any of these, this is the room you’ve been waiting for.

One night to close the gap between what Virginia farms grow and what local buyers need. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to get your vegetables or grain into a distillery, mill, grocery store, or regional supply chain, bring your questions and come get the answers straight from the source.

The evening kicks off with a buyer panel featuring grain buyers from the distillery and milling world alongside diversified vegetable buyers from grocery, food hubs, and wholesale. Panelists include Evrim Dogu, Sub Rosa Bakery and Shelley Sackier, Reservoir Distillery and the Virginia Heritage Grain Project (BOD of Common Grain Alliance). They’ll share what they’re looking for, what it takes to sell into their operations, and how to get started. Then the floor opens up, and the real work begins, meeting them face to face.

Our local farms are providing us with the products we need for good food and good drinks, so come hungry, come thirsty, and come ready to talk and connect.

All farmers are welcome. Organic focus. Real conversations. No pitch decks are required.

The panel tells you what it takes. The mixer is where it happens.
