About Farm To Fork SF
Farm-To-Fork is an event and Web series connecting food lovers and sustainability advocates, showcasing local food and drink from the Bay Area’s premiere farm-to-table chefs, restaurants, and food producers. Using video and interactive displays, our events offer guests an immersive experience that simultaneously entertains while expanding a dialogue on sustainability.
Prior to each event, we produce a mini-documentary telling the stories behind the intimate and interdependent relationship between chefs and local food producers. During the event, we screen the film on The Village's projection wall and attendees have the chance to personally interact with all the players involved.
It’s all about facilitating understanding. Local food is delicious, but supporting our local food systems is an undertaking that requires knowledge and effort. As our knowledge grows, so too does our capacity to properly celebrate and advocate the local farm and those who help sustain it.
