The Tasting Reception is the most well attended networking event of the conference and showcases the regional bounty from local farms, chefs, wineries, breweries, bakeries and other food purveyors. Delectable seasonal offerings like fresh juices, winter veggies, citrus and exotic fruits from local growers, dried fruits, cheeses, fish, meats, dips, baked goods and much more will be enjoyed at the reception. Additionally, special guest chefs will turn donated local agriculture products into tasty dishes to sample with exceptional local wines, brews and spirits.

In past years, the Tasting Reception has been attended by over 600 conference participants and local foodies alike. This is a valuable opportunity to show off your products, network, connect with new clients and farmers’ market managers and support California family farms.
