How can you participate? We will let you know when online registration is open (soon!), keep checking the website. Will you donate your great product or cooking skills to help put together the amazing lunch? Email Jon and he will coordinate the magic.
Our keynote speaker this year is Sam Morgannam, author of Eat Good Food and founder of the Bi-Rite groceries in San Francisco. His passion is for buiding communities through food, and he can speak to the next steps of local sourcing: taking grocery retailing to a new level.
Our workshops this year are being finalized - if you have a success story to share regarding local sourcing (especially if you are willing to share some hard numbers as examples), and/or if you produce locally-sourced, sustainably raised pantry items, we'd like to hear from you to help fill out our panels. Email Piper with details. Look forward to:
