Every
Growing Health event gets
bigger and better. In 2006, over 200 people sampled dishes prepared
with local fresh food by some of the area’s most popular chefs. In
2008, over 250 people came, more local restaurants, wineries and
breweries were featured, and we offered information about where to
purchase food from farms in the region.
In 2010, we are back
by popular demand! Our evening food, wine and beer tasting event
will be truly sumptuous! And for the first time, due to tremendous
interest, Growing Health 2010
features a full day Farms, Food and
Health Conference. Attend the conference, the evening
local foods tasting, or both. But please register early because
tickets are limited.
