The Johnson County Local Food and Farm Team is seeking submissions from self-contained food trucks and self-supported food stands for an upcoming open house event.

 

The event will take place on Tuesday, August 6 from 4:00 - 8:00pm at the Johnson County Historic Poor Farm (4811 Melrose Avenue in Iowa City). Vendors are expected to serve an approximate guest count of 80 - 150 from 4:15 - 8:00pm.

Food trucks and stands should send submissions via email to jwatkins@johnsoncountyiowa.gov with answers to the following questions to be considered:

 

  • Include the name of the business, business email and phone number, and the primary contact’s name

  • Would you have availability on Tuesday, August 6 between 3:00 and 8:00pm?

  • What are your needs from the venue to serve food? Outlets, water hook-ups, etc.

  • What is your pricing structure? Do you ask for a guaranteed minimum if attendees pay for their own food?

  • Do you require a deposit to book your services? If so, how much is it?

  • What are the staple menu items that you typically provide at events?

​

Following the review process, Johnson County’s Local Food and Farm Team will select two to three vendors to serve at the event. The review team will not accept any submissions after Friday, July 19 at 11am.
