A Focus on Healthy Eating at this Year’s Let’s Talk About Food Festival

 
This will be the third annual Let’s Talk About Food Festival, the region’s largest outdoor health education and food festival. Held on Sept. 26-27 of the year, the festival will bring together food writers, scientists, academics and even local and celebrity chefs. The festival will consist of outdoor activities such as gardening seminars, workshops and cooking demonstration for both adults and kids. Some of the faces you will see there this year include White House Pastry Chef Bill Yosses, Harvest Restaurant’s Mary Dumont, Townsman’s Matt Jennings, and Jody Adams from Rialto and Trade. There will be tons of food samples and vendors on site. When asked, the organizers claim that the purpose of the festival is “aimed at increasing the level of public literacy about all aspects of our food system.”
