The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) will be bringing a pavilion's worth of exhibitors to next week's Bar & Restaurant Expo Denver, held at the Colorado Convention Center from October 26-28.
The CDA is a state government agency that supports Colorado's agriculture industry by promoting its products, ensuring food safety, protecting consumers and the environment, and regulating agricultural practices. "The CDA Marketing team offers a variety of resources to help our agricultural based companies on any level," said the CDA. "We organize and offer grants, funding support, local promotion, educational webinars and podcasts as well as organize trade activities and events to meet potential customers."
Located at Booth #401, the CDA will be showcasing 13 of the best local companies that Colorado has to offer. Attendees are invited to stop by to taste everything from wine, spirits, and beer to lamb, pasta, and tortillas. "Our goal is always to help our local companies find new opportunities for growth and success," said the CDA. "We hope they are each able to connect with existing accounts but also find some new ones."
