Fresno families and food lovers are invited to a special consumer‑testing event at the Big Fresno Fair. On Friday, Oct. 9, and Saturday, Oct. 10, the Green House Building will host a free tasting booth where visitors can sample fresh offerings from Central Valley entrepreneurs.
Local producers showcase new products
Among the featured vendors are Eco‑Family Farms, presenting flavored almonds, and Carmelita’s Pan Casero, offering traditional homemade breads. Several other regional food businesses will also be on hand with innovative snacks, sauces, and baked goods that highlight the Valley’s agricultural heritage.
Why your opinion matters
The tasting is more than a chance to try tasty treats; it is a consumer‑research opportunity. Organizers explain that feedback collected at the booth helps entrepreneurs understand what flavors and product concepts resonate with shoppers. By sharing honest opinions, participants directly influence future product development and business strategies, strengthening the local food ecosystem.
Supporting the Central Valley brand
Attendees will also learn about “Central to the Valley,” a regional brand created to help consumers identify locally sourced products. The brand aims to increase transparency about where food comes from and to encourage support for producers with deep roots in the community.
