For some people, the way to their heart is through their stomach. Explore how awesome love can be when it’s fed with local food from farmers and food producers around Western PA.

Farm to Table Western PA organizes Local Food Tasting events to allow consumers to experience first-hand the quality and diversity of locally grown, produced and prepared food.  This is a great event to meet local Pittsburghers who value their food and are excited to learn how to access local food and beverages.  The atmosphere is relaxing: music and local food conversation abound!

New this year: Our special “Share the LOVE” VIP Event! Come meet the non-profit organizations who are fighting hunger through community gardens/ urban agriculture as well as food distribution. VIP attendees will receive $100 in tokens that they may donate to the organizations onsite. All VIP attendees will have access to the tasting vendors one hour before the event starts.
