WNY Farmer/Chef Conference

Here is an exciting event coming up next month, presented by a group called the Field and Fork Network:

Field and Fork Network's first annual Farmer-Chef Conference will be held on Monday, February 23rd at Byrncliff Resort & Conference Center. Our daylong conference will offer Western New York's chefs and other food industry professionals the opportunity to network with local farmers and artisan food producers.

Our key note speaker will offer advice and inspiration to chefs and farmers alike, and a lunch featuring local products will typify the bounty that Western New York agriculture has to offer (even in mid-February). During the conference, chefs and farmers will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops together that will further their understanding of the local food movement, its promising future, and their place in it.

To register for the conference, please visit our website at http://www.fieldandforknetwork.com and click on the conference page for registration forms. The fee for the conference and lunch is $50 per person.
