We are excited to announce that the 2023 MoCo Made Registration is now open (and it’s free)! The MoCo Made program highlights food and beverages produced or headquartered here in the County, making it easier for shoppers and buyers to identify local products and support the producers and artisans. The MoCo Made initiative offers educational and business development resources and support to local farms, food and beverage producers, and retailers Today, 87 food and beverage businesses participate in the MoCo Made program, including 52 businesses that identify as women-owned, 16 that identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color-owned, and 22 farms.
