Sample Products, Most Locally Made, and Mark Women's History Month
March is Women's History Month, and we salute the Mariano's supermarket chain for marking the occasion with a weekly series of events showcasing women-owned businesses. These events will be held at selected Chicago-area stores beginning March 1 and running through March 22.
Each event will showcase between 10 and 14 women-owned businesses who will be sampling their products. Most of these businesses are located in the Chicago region (I have worked with several of them in my role as communications coordinator for Naturally Chicago, whose Locally Made program partners with Mariano's to provide opportunities for local brands that are better for people and the planet).
Here is the list of events with locations and the participating companies. If you believe, as we do, that a diverse, equitable and inclusive food system is the only economically viable and sustainable food system, please drop by one (or more) of these events and meet some great women producers.
