Live Local! Tampa Bay Faces + Tastings

In this first edition of LocalShops1's Local Faces + Local Tastings, where you'll meet 21 local and diverse entrepreneurs. Some are native Floridians, including a third-generation Tampa native. Others found their way here from faraway places (one from as far as Zimbabwe!) and decided to stay. What they all have in common is their passion for Tampa Bay, and for making our communities happier and sparklier, one small business at a time. We are excited and honored to be able to share their stories. And because our area has so many foodies, we are also featuring 15 recipes, all made by local entrepreneurs, many using local products!
