Mar 21-22: Farm to Table conference


Farm to Table is all about connecting farms & local food producers to the community.  Eating real food & cooking at home are critical for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  We hold community events throughout the region to  educate consumers about where they can buy local & how to prepare local foods. 
Friday & Saturday, March 21 & 22, 2014 from 10 am - 5 pm each day at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center downtown.  

Cooking demonstrations, speakers, kids activities and a giant Expo Hall full of local food exhibitors.  Our Keynote Speaker is Judy Wicks, author of Good Morning, Beautiful Business, and founder of the White Dog Cafe in Philadelphia, PA. 

You will meet farms, wineries, food producers, retailers, non profit organizations, farmers markets, CSAs, media groups and many more.  Check out our website for speaker schedule, exhibitor list and registration links.  Teachers can get free ACT 48 credits & registration.
