Food trucks and trailers are mobile restaurants, gaining popularity with vendors and diners alike. They’re less expensive to operate and are a convenient and fun dining experience. Our own Smithers District Chamber of Commerce has opened a farm-to-fork food trailer that celebrates community entrepreneurship and chamber member growers, farmers and food producers. And the biggest surprise of all? It’s non-profit!
We’ll hear from the Chamber’s food trailer manager Savannah Parsons, whom I spoke with briefly during the soft opening in mid-July. Then, some background on the food trailer business with Chamber Executive Director Sheena Miller, with a few more comments from Savannah.
Special thanks to the Chamber's summer students and the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako (our food trailer project funding partners), as well as Chamber members Riverside Kitchen Co and Bulkley River Booch.
