Friday Night Food Tasting
An Intimate Food Experience
Join us Friday evening after the conference ends for an intimate gathering of farm exhibitors and like-minded locavores. This relaxed get together features local food, wine and beer samples.
Friday’s tasting attendees got a real bargain, nothing showcases better than the real thing (food) and the chat heard and participated in was the high point of the event to us”
