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!
