This interactive showcase connects the community with the people shaping tomorrow’s food system, including plant breeders, farmers, chefs, bakers, and beverage makers. Together, they are developing fruits, vegetables, and grains that prioritize both culinary taste and sustainable, organic production. Guests can taste creative dishes highlighting curated crops such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, bitter gourd, Calabrian peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, strawberries, blueberries, black currants, and American persimmons. For those who want to expand their experience, optional tastings of beer, wine, and spirits crafted from regional grains and fruits will also be available. Tickets cost $42 in advance and $50 at the door, with an additional $10 for the beverage sampling experience.
