Farm to Flavor 2022
5-8 pm on Sunday, August 21, 2022
Garver Feed Mill in Madison, WI
Please join us for an engaging evening of conversation, learning, and tasting brought to you by the Culinary Breeding Network, Seed to Kitchen Collaborative, and Artisan Grain Collaborative.
This public event will bring together breeders, farmers, chefs, bakers, and beverage makers to celebrate the benefits of participatory classic plant breeding for flavor and organic production. The evening will provide the opportunity for researchers, growers, and food lovers to play an essential role in guiding the development of new crop varieties.
This year’s iteration of “Farm to Flavor” will have a special emphasis on culinary grains including wheat, rye, oats, barley, and corn. Come learn, taste, and engage! “At this event, the curtain is pulled back.” says Culinary Breeding Network Executive Director, Lane Selman, “Attendees are introduced to the wizards making critical decisions before our farmers plant their seeds. It’s a unique chance to meet the plant breeders creating flavorful varieties for organic farmers.“
Tickets are available at https://farmtoflavor2022.bpt.me for $25 if purchased by July 21 and $35 thereafter. AGC members get a special discount (see your AGC member site). Undergraduate students can contact Sarah Elliott for a ticket discount.
This event is organized by University of Wisconsin, Oregon State University, Artisan Grain Collaborative and Cornell University. Funding from the USDA-OREI-NIFA project Value-Added Grains for Local and Regional Food Systems II.
