Think organic food can’t be diverse and tasty? That a sustainable micro farm is a miniaturized version of agriculture? That CSA is a shadowy government agency? That “artisanal” just means arts and crafts? Then you need to get over to the fantastic FamilyFarmed EXPO, running Thurs to Sat, March 11 to 13, at the UIC Forum, 725 W. Roosevelt Rd.
Celeb chef demos, urban agriculture workshops, CSA sign-ups with local and regional farms. It all goes down easy in our book.
Check out this video promo they created for the 2010 expo:
This is the fifth installment of Oak Park-based FamilyFarmed.org’s annual foodie fest. And it just keeps growing and getting better every year. FamilyFarmed.org’s mission is to “expand the production, marketing and distribution of locally grown and responsibly produced food, in order to enhance the social, economic and environmental health of our communities.”
Local. Green. Sustainable. Healthy. May as well be describing I-GO. Which is why we’ll be at the event on Sat, March 13, from 10am to 6pm, dishing out discount I-GO memberships at $25 a pop. Now that’s deliciously wholesome.
And we’ll sweeten the deal even more: Print out this two-for-one admission coupon and bring a pal:
Dinner’s served.
