We do LOADS of markets in and around PDX and I had more of my friends and family come to this event than I ever have in the past — and I think that says how exciting the event was. I also really enjoyed seeing so many new faces, I felt like Gobble Up brought a different audience than we normally see at craft shows.

We are truly beyond pleased with this event. We have been to so many farmer’s markets, trade shows, and other markets/events, and we didn’t know exactly what to expect at Gobble Up. Well, we were completely blown away! Often it feels that attendees at most shows are lookers, with few people buying. At Gobble Up, every other person or group who sampled from us, made a purchase! Genuine question – how did you all find such incredible attendees to come and BUY from us? Tears of joy were shed after this event. It was the reminder I needed that our products ROCK and that we have something special. We really cannot thank you enough, and we look forward to your events next year.

As a vendor, I feel so much support at your events. All the volunteers going around and offering assistance, from taking our trash out, to watching our booth to use the restroom really makes me feel supported and appreciated as a vendor. Y’all really do a great job with these events and I am so grateful to be a part of them!

Load-in was great and the volunteers very helpful. It takes us a bit longer to load-out due to the extra storage we must use for the cold items, but the volunteers still came by and asked to help us. Please give my thanks to them.

I can’t think of a single thing [that I would change]! The process was so smooth leading up to the event, including day-of.

[My favorite part of the weekend was] engaging with other vendors and gathering feedback from them. The network I have been able to build going to these shows is fantastic

[My favorite part of the show was] seeing how many people were genuinely excited about supporting small businesses. Also, seeing familiar faces (vendors and repeat customers) and meeting new customers (and wholesale clients)!

Load in was easy. The Gobble up team was very helpful and supportive. We especially appreciated the garbage disposal throughout the show as we gave out the most samples we have ever given, and our garbage bin could have easily overflowed without the volunteer help from the gobble up team.

I sold more sauces at this market than I’ve ever sold at any event. I have done 115 events across the PNW in 2022, so this is huge!

[My favorite part of the show was] realizing I hadn’t taken a break for a while (right at the beginning) only to look up and see a line had formed at my booth! I think it was the first market I’ve ever done where I had a consistent line at my booth- thank you for that opportunity!
