Farms to Forks is back! On Sunday, October 2nd, 2016, for the 7th year in a row, we’re bringing together some of the city’s most prominent chefs and mixologists and the region’s best growers and producers for a fun night of local wine and beer pairings, cocktails, and tasting stations!

If you’re unfamiliar with their mission, Growing Chefs is all about getting kids excited about good, healthy food. “In our Classroom Gardening and Cooking Program, chef volunteers are paired with elementary school classrooms (grades 1-3 for the primary program, 4-6 for the intermediate) to give students hands-on experience growing and cooking their own food.” It’s a fantastic program, and our city is better for it!
