Five local food businesses head to Toronto trade show

Five Central Okanagan food businesses are showcasing their products to national retailers this week at Grocery Innovations Canada in Toronto.

Cabin 5, UMAMI Crave the Fifth, Little Creek Dressing, Mindful FÜD and Planty of Nosh are participating in an Okanagan pavilion supported by the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission (COEDC).

The trade show gives the companies an opportunity to connect with buyers, explore new markets and expand beyond B.C.

Nji Mbitaownu, an economic development officer with the COEDC, says the initiative helps local producers build partnerships and grow the region’s food manufacturing sector.
