Wyoming Table Cultivating Global Connections with Local Flavors – By the Wyoming Business Council

Launched in 2023, Wyoming Table has quickly grown into a grassroots success story, connecting local producers with buyers across the state, the region, and the world. What started as a simple online directory is now a platform linking more than 70 Wyoming ranchers, farmers, brewers, distillers, and food product suppliers and manufacturers directly with restaurants, distributors, and international buyers.

In 2024, a highlight event in Jackson, Wyoming, brought together hospitality leaders, chefs, and beverage experts to showcase Wyoming-made food and drinks, demonstrating how local flavors can elevate tourism and culinary experiences. This year marked our second appearance at the Wyoming State Fair, which brings together producers and expands the reach of Wyoming Table. 

Partnership with the Wyoming Food Coalition allowed for collaboration on an annual showcase that brought together our local food system partners, while the Rocky Mountain Regional Food Innovation Center continues to expand awareness and access for Wyoming producers of all sizes. 

On the global stage, Wyoming Table is leveraging collaborations with the Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) to connect with European and Asia-Pacific markets. Through programs like the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) and Market Expansion Grant (MEG), producers are receiving critical support to overcome barriers and meet international buyer requirements.

“Wyoming Table is more than a directory; it is a bridge between grassroots producers and global markets, ensuring Wyoming’s high-quality products have the reach they deserve, just like those pioneers who chased the Western horizon in search of opportunity.” - WBC Market Development Advisor Kade McMillan
