The celebration continues Sept. 16\u00a0with a pop-up dinner featuring\u00a0Jacob Boehm of\u00a0Snap Pea Underground & Catering<\/a>. While specific details will not be announced until days before the event, Boehm will be cooking with seasonal ingredients provided by farm partners.<\/p>\n

Farm to Fork NC is an initiative of the\u00a0Center for Environmental Farming Systems<\/a>\u00a0(CEFS) and co-hosted by CEFS, Breeze Farm and the North Carolina Agricultural Foundation Inc. The Farm to Fork Picnic\u00a0began in 2007 to recognize Carlo Petrini and the\u00a0Slow Food Movement<\/a>\u00a0and quickly became one of the most anticipated culinary events in the region.<\/p>\n

Farm to Fork NC events not only celebrate the Triangle\u2019s thriving local food community, they also benefit sustainable agriculture\u00a0internship<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0apprenticeship<\/a>\u00a0programs at CEFS and the\u00a0Breeze Farm Enterprise Incubator<\/a>, providing hands-on training and mentorship to young and second-career farmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the average age of U.S. farmers nearing 60, training the next generation of farmers is critical to the future of our fresh and local food supply,\u201d said Dr. Nancy Creamer, CEFS Director.<\/p>\n
