Tastings

Since 2007, the Farm to Fork Picnic has helped to drive the incredible growth of our local food movement in the Triangle. The area’s best farmers and chefs are paired together to create delectable bite-size dishes that inspire and amaze. The event also features local food artisans and beverage producers, with live music, fun activities for children, and surprises for the whole family. Bon Appétit Magazine called it “the country’s best all-you-can-eat feast”!

Join the Farm to Fork email list to hear when pairings, beverage producers, and artisans are announced!
