Straight to the Source: From Farm to Table
This panel discussion investigates how local and organically grown produce shapes Austin cooking and dining. Speakers will talk about the growth of organic markets and farm-to-table practices and discuss if / why the quality of home grown food is indeed superior in taste, nutrition and economic value to our hyperlocal communities. Come hear from some of those doing it best how current food trends are shaping and influencing the future of cooking and dining on both a regional, and national scale.
