The Spring Business Fair in Burlington, VT will be Thursday April 18th this year from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in City Hall. The event is organized by Burlington’s Community Economic Development Office (CEDO), the SBA, and CVOEO’s Micro-Business Development program.
New and exciting is this year’s offering of a “Localvore Food Sector” at the event. I’ll be there tabling with other food business development organizations, making it a one-stop shop if you’re looking to start a small food business. You can bring your tax, nutrition labeling, and packaging questions. You could even bring samples of your product as City Market will be there to talk about working with retailers.
