Whenever I travel to new places, I like to scout out the local markets to find new artisan products for Foodzie. But when I can’t get out and travel, new product discovery comes from simply piggy-backing on the collective experiences of other foodies.

Brad Feld, one of our mentors at TechStars recently traveled to Alaska and shared a bunch of his Alaskan food finds, which included everything from smoked salmon, to mustards, to jam.

Laurel Durham, an attorney with HRO (one of our sponsors at TechStars) told me about Chugwater Chili, which according to people “in the know” is one of the best products from Wyoming. After some research, I discovered they were featured on Food Networks Food Finds.

We love learning about these interesting products from all over the country. So if you have an artisan product that you’ve found in your travels, please share it with us! Send it to @foodtweets on twitter or add it in the comments below.
