It has been a very rewarding and eye opener experience to participate in this event. To be at the lunch and hear some of the great  sustainable steps of the growers themselves as well as the gourmet ideas that the chefs used on the day with the donated products to produce an innovative and absolutely delicious luncheon.  It was refreshing to hear passionate people talking about their own product and their love for their food.
