Hundreds of guests eager to sample local, artisan and organic food, attend tasting workshops, and learn about homesteading are expected to flock to Audubon Greenwich's Sustainable Food & Farm Expo on Sunday, May 31, from 10 am until 5 pm. Over a dozen exhibitors and vendors, including organic farmers, homesteading experts, artisan food producers, specialty food retailers, and organic restaurants, will be present to share their products and expertise with attendees.
The Sustainable Food & Farm Expo is produced by Audubon Greenwich in cooperation with the Fairfield Green Food Guide and is poised to attract both regular guests and newcomers from as far as Westchester County. "Audubon is proud to host this exciting, family-friendly event. Organic farming practices and more wholesome approaches to eating will greatly reduce our burden on Earth's natural resources while enhancing our habitats, soils, and communities" said Jeff Cordulack, Audubon Greenwich's Events Manager.
"Fairfield County is home to a strong and growing community of organic farmers, artisan food producers, specialty food retailers, organic restaurants and homesteading experts and this event is a fun and effective way for the general public to get to know them and their products and services" said Fairfield Green Food Guide founder Analiese Paik. "The diversity of sustainable food and beverages grown, produced or sold locally from biodynamic Champagne and locally roasted, organic Fair Trade coffee to farm-fresh food delivered to your door - is quite impressive and offers consumers a delicious and compelling alternative to mass-produced food."
The following businesses and organizations will be exhibiting at the Food & Farm Expo: Fairfield Green Food Guide, Slow Food Metro North, Fairfield County Farm Bureau, The Hickories Farm, Dirt Road Farm, On the Rocks Farm, Armstrong Court Community Garden, Red Bee Honey, Olivette, Shearwater Organic Coffee Roasters, Natural Awakenings Magazine and many more!
