Culinary Conversation with Food Women @ The Downtown Farmstand
In celebration of Women's History Month, Judith Dunbar-Hines will lead a lively conversation with five women who own and operate Chicago area food businesses to learn about their journey establishing, operating and marketing their successful operations. This event will take place at Chicago's Downtown Farmstand (66 E. Randolph), which will remain open until 8pm to accommodate post-event shoppers. Participants include Nicole Bergere, Nicole's Crackers; Jessica Volpe, Pasta Puttana; Jenny Yang, Phoenix Tofu; Meg Dhamer, Pigtales Twist; and Elizabeth Madden, Rare Bird. Admission is free but capacity is limited. Advance registration is required by calling (312) 742-8497.
