The Montgomery County Food Council has released its interactive, online 2023 Montgomery County Food and Beverage Guide. The sixth edition of the Guide features 75 businesses in total.
The County businesses listed in the guide include 25 that are women-owned. It includes information on 19 farms, 21 bakeries/confectioneries, 18 prepared/packaged goods producers, nine craft beverage producers, seven non-alcoholic beverage producers, four meat producers and four honey producers.
The guide is interactive and searchable, so users can filter by category and type of business.
The guide also reflects the “MoCo Made” initiative that offers resources and support to local farms and food and beverage producers. It also increases the visibility and awareness of the diverse products made and grown in the County.
The Food Council is an independent nonprofit organization that connects businesses, nonprofits, government agencies and concerned residents to create a robust, sustainable and equitable local food system. In addition to the Food and Beverage Guide, the MoCo Made Program includes efforts to increase networking opportunities for farmers, wholesale and retail buyers and producers; provides educational resources for existing and aspiring food and beverage business owners on how to scale a business; connects small businesses to tools and resources; and provides overall facilitation and connections of small businesses to customers, capital and infrastructure.
