Join fellow food lovers, makers, and funders at a collaborative evening bringing attention to food business development. When we talk about what a healthy food system looks like, it’s not just farmers and environmental stewards and conscientious eaters: It’s also funders and support providers. It’s businesses striving to be sustainable, pay their employees and owners livable wages, and play a role in their regional community.
Intrigued? Come out on Monday September 29th to learn more about this through the lens of Prescott Market in West Oakland!
After a welcoming drink and a few bites, we’ll get a quick tour of the Market while hearing about the inspiration for the development. Then we’ll settle in to hear more specifically from the founders how they worked with the city and funders to make it happen. Jonathan of Pizzeria Violetta and Mendra of Fast Times Burgers will share the challenges and successes of growing from Covid-era popups to brick and mortar restaurants. Afterward, we’ll get the chance to break into groups to ask deeper questions of each of our presenters.
And we encourage you to stay for a beer at Almanac or dinner from Prescott Market vendors like Pizzeria Violetta, Woo Can Cook, Fast Times Burgers and Cafe Noir.
This will be an evening of connection - with fellow curious consumers, with the ambitious entrepreneurs and with the local food economy overall. You’ll leave with answers… and probably a few more questions too!
