“How Local Food Grows a City” Flash Talks and Kick-Off Party

Start Eat Local First Week right with our series of inspiring flash talks from local food movement leaders and a tasting party of local food and drink delight at the fittingly innovative and engaging Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. Who’s innovating in the city’s food movement and where do they see opportunity? How do crops, commerce, and community shape the physical, nutritional, and economic landscape of our city? These are just part of the great stories we’ll hear and see from the farmer, the restaurateur, the producer, the consumer, the innovator and more, while we celebrate the big ideas and small actions that make it happen.
