ABOUT VASFA
Founded in 1947 as the Tidewater Canners Association, the VASFA has evolved to help producers, retailers and farmers across the commonwealth grow their businesses through joint marketing programs, promotional campaigns, and technical assistance.
VASFA is the only statewide organization dedicated to the craft food and beverage industry's production, promotion, and placement in the Commonwealth. Craft-made and local food has become increasingly popular nation-wide, and the VASFA is developing to meet our members evolving needs. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and promoting the Virginia specialty food and beverage industry.
OUR GOAL
As interest in craft made and local food continues to rise nationally, the VASFA is evolving to meet the growing needs of our members. Our non-profit association is the leading information resource for all specialty food and beverage producers, service providers, retailers and industry professionals within Virginia. Our Goal is to help our member businesses grow and be successful while further developing the awareness of the Virginia Specialty Food & Beverage industry through education, promotion, and collaboration.
