Attention All MoCo Food and Beverage Producers!

We are now accepting submissions for the Fall 2017 edition of the Montgomery County Food and Beverage Guide. This resource, which will be shared on our website and presented as a print brochure, online map and potentially even a mobile app, will feature packaged goods (such as condiments, snacks and sauces), beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and desserts and confections created by Montgomery County food artisans. Each company’s listing will provide information such as product descriptions, contact information, and sales locations. We hope this Montgomery County publication will generate interest and promote businesses among consumers, wholesalers, retailers and restaurateurs in the area.

Please note that the Montgomery County Food and Beverage Guide is limited to food and beverages made in Montgomery County or food/beverage businesses headquartered here. Companies must have a product currently in production. Agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, and meat, are listed in the comprehensive annual Montgomery County Farm Directory, available on the Office of Agriculture’s website.

To be included in the Fall 2017 edition of the Montgomery County Food and Beverage Guide, submit your company information  via our Google form linked below by July 1, 2017. Business entries are subject to verification.
