FamilyFarmed Expo: Connect with Organic
You've had a taste of the Organic movement, and now you're hooked, and you want to learn more. Next stop: The FamilyFarmed Expo, taking place March 23rd and 24th at the Chicago Cultural Center. Friday's schedule is mostly for restaurants and re-sellers; the stuff for consumers all takes place on Saturday. The schedule boasts about a dozen workshops, on topics like healthy eating and sustainable farming, a Farmer's Market, chef's presentatoins and general schmoozing with a bunch of local farmers and CSA operators.
Tickets to the Expo are two for $25 for both days, or $15 for one day. If you're still hungry for more, the Expo's hosting a benefit tasting party called Localicious -- where chefs prepare food from local farms -- that Friday night. It's $75. Meanwhile, you can enter to win a pair of tickets to the Expo or the tasting party through Time Out Chicago. A simple piece of Organic trivia (scroll to the bottom) is all that it takes to enter.
