This public event was designed to build community among plant breeders, seed growers, farmers, chefs, bakers, distillers, retailers, distributors, and consumers interested in the local food system. Attendees had the unique opportunity to taste new and in-development vegetable, fruit, and grain cultivars. They engaged in conversations, shared opinions, and helped break down the walls between eaters and breeders. The 2024 Variety Showcase had a special emphasis on culinary grains and dry farming. Participants learned, tasted, and engaged with enthusiasm.
This was all the food I ate at the Event.
