vendor How did you meet/find/contact your Vendors/Farm?

Hi Guys,
 
This is my third post. Wanted to take a minute in this post to just express how, may I dare say it, HOT  this forum is. Love how active it is and how passionate people are about their hot sauces. Puts a smile on my face every day I get on.
 
Anyways, as the tittle says, I'm very curious about how you guys met your vendors and how you went about finding them. I'm starting to look into buy in bulk instead of going to whole foods. Any tips or tricks or things to avoid would be great. I've never done something like this before so I'm kind of leaning on y'alls expertise.
 
A) Because my college wallet cries every time I'm there.
B) Because it'll be useful in the future.
 
Thanks a head of time. You guys are great.

Start at your local farmers markets get to know the vendors. Share what you are looking to do and give them a bottle of your sauce. You would be surprised how many people will be willing to help get you the right produce.
