It's an evening of great local food and drinks in the pavilion, surrounded by the spring forest. In partnership with Weavers Way Co-op, a panel of food writers, growers, and activists will explore the nuances of local food and what it means to create a new, place-based food culture.
Public Programs Manager Elisabeth Zafiris will moderate an engaging discussion about the intersection of food, place, and culture.
Panelists:
