What started as a homemade staple turned into something more.

Meet Mar Mar Foods, a brand built on bold flavor and purpose. After becoming empty nesters, founders Liza and Mike Matz launched in 2022 with one product, now growing into a small, but expanding line. Driven by their belief that “Good Food Should Do Good”, they’ve supported charities across multiple states while building their business.

Through VASFA, they’ve found connection, guidance, and a community that continues to support their growth.

An interactive working session focused on real industry challenges and shaping how VASFA supports them.

As VASFA enters a new chapter, we are taking a more intentional approach to how we support Virginia’s specialty food and beverage industry. This session is part of that shift.

Through guided discussion, small group conversations, and open Q&A, attendees will:

Share current challenges and roadblocks
Gain insights and advice from peers and industry leaders
Help shape the future programming and support offered by VASFA

Whether you’re just getting started or actively growing, this session is designed to provide practical value while strengthening connections across Virginia’s specialty food community.

It’s high time to get your Guinness drinking arm ready for the annual St Patrick’s festivities. Pick up a survivors hangover kit - it’s ideal for any situation. If you’re currently stuck in a pile of snow, having political anxiety, or planning a bachelorette party, you may need this sooner than later. Shipped across the US 🇺🇸
