A Giveaway: The Farm to Table Conference Tasting Event

March 2014

The way the birds are chirping adds so much spring to the air despite the lingering chill. I can’t help but long for tables stretching over grassy pastures, tomatoes bursting with the sweetness of a dessert, the aroma of basil and mint carried by warm breezes, and bronze shoulders exposed by slipping sundress straps. As the anticipation grows for spring’s rebirth, we can take comfort in the local goodness our region has to offer, and one lucky winner will enjoy that local goodness even more at the annual Farm to Table Conference.

    I’m excited to meet the folks at Cabot! As a cheesemonger with a long history of working in cooperatives, I know these are my people.

    There’s too many to choose from, but Sugar Social sounds delicious and I always love Clarion River Organics!

    5 Generation Bakers. I’m currently in love with every bread that comes fresh out of the oven. I don’t have much experience with baking breads and cutting in cold butter 😉 whatever that means, but I’d love to taste the cinnamon goodness that 5 Generation Bakers bake.

      I read this while eating Irish Soda Bread with butter & jam. I couldn’t agree more!

    I want to see how crazy Pretzel Crazy really is. Also, seeing Judy Wicks speak will be great. She’s a local of my childhood neighborhood and The White Dog is one of my mother’s favorite places to get brunch. Small world.
