Local Food Conference
Feast Down East's Annual Local Food Conference brings together all those in our community who are involved in supporting and growing the local food system in Southeastern North Carolina. This includes farmers and fishermen, food retailers and establishments, foodies, advocates and community leaders. The purpose of the conference is to strengthen the activities of these groups and the relationships between them. Workshop topics include agricultural and gardening techniques, cooking demonstrations and food tastings, and the policy work of local food councils. Registration includes full conference access, as well as locally-sourced breakfast and lunch.
