The Virginia Food and Beverage Expo is the ideal location for journalists to sink their teeth into all things Virginia. More than 100 Virginia specialty food and beverage companies representing hundreds of jobs across the Commonwealth are expected to showcase their fine products. The convenient Expo will allow you to spend part of your day visiting with Virginia’s leading food purveyors, many of whom represent small to medium size family-owned Virginia companies. Sales of specialty foods during the most recent reporting period (2010) were $70.32 billion, with $55.92 billion of sales at retail, according to the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT).
