The Argentina Independent is organising what we hope is the first of many Underground Market events. An underground market is a one-day event that provides the opportunity for amateur chefs, artisanal food producers, and creators of amazing homemade food to sell their wares to a hungry and receptive audience of local and expat foodies.
We are looking for vendors to create and sell their own dishes that can be served and eaten on site at the Buenos Aires Underground Market.
The philosophy of the market is to create a space for people who are un-certified – and therefore don’t have other options to sell their wares. We like to stay true to this, and although the occasional certified vendor will get in, basically we would like to take people who make their goods at home, and are just trying to get off the ground.
The hope is that the market is a kind of incubator, helping people to raise capital, as well as gain support. If you’re interested in being a vendor, send us an e-mail with your name, phone number and dish you’re interested in bringing until Sunday, 13th May to undergroundmarket@argentinaindependent.com and we will send you more information about the BA Underground Market and how everything works.
The first BA Underground Market will take place at IMPA La Fábrica, Querandíes 4290, on Saturday, 9th June from 12-5pm.
Hope to see you all at the first BA Underground Market!
