Living Green Expo

Filed under: Events

foodandfarn.jpg
The Living Green Expo takes place this weekend in the Grandstand Building at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds , and it features all sorts of of food-focused booths, workshops, and demos--everything from local natural food co-ops to vegetable gardening and worm composting. Here are a few highlights:

Cooking demonstrations:
Rick Kimmes (Oceanaire) cooks Wisconsin trout, Mike Phillips (The Craftsman) makes his own cured meats, and JD Fratzke (The Strip Club) how to prepare meat from pasture-raised animals.

Workshops:
An introduction to beekeeping with a U of M bee lab scientist, and a discussion of the farm bill's impact on farming practices and the environment led by ag policy professionals.

If you haven’t signed up for a CSA yet, you can meet dozens of local farmers in the Community Food and Farm area.

While I doubt I will start beekeeping, I might have to walk over there sometime this weekend to chat with the farmers about a CSA.

RH, snaps to your blog for helping me sign up for an organic farming class. I am hoping the LGE is just as useful.

This Juan guy sounds dreamy.

I was particularly impressed with the number and variety of local organic and co-op food suppliers at this year's event!
