💡 Host Tips for Success
Unique Experiences: Popular events include guided tours, exclusive tastings, or "meet the maker" sessions that go beyond your daily business offerings.
Collaborate: We highly recommend partnering with other local farms, food trucks, or breweries to create "multi-host" events that draw larger crowds.
Flexible Scheduling: Host a single event on one day, or multiple activities throughout the 10-day celebration.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING > This form does not save your progress. To avoid losing your work, we recommend writing your event and farm descriptions in a separate document first, then copying them into the form when you are ready to submit.

A Note on Event Hosting: To ensure a unique experience for our visitors, we ask that your Local Food Week event include a special activity (such as a tour, tasting, or demo) rather than just your standard business hours or farm stand openings. We’re here to help you brainstorm a "special addition" that works for your business!
