Chatham University and its Master of Arts in Food Studies program along with the Penn State Extension of Allegheny County are proud to announce the second annual “Local Food Showcase: a Grower / Buyer Event” returns to Chatham’s Athletic & Fitness Center at the Shadyside Campus.
The Local Food Showcase brings together western Pennsylvania farmers, value-added producers, food industry purchasers, and food lovers with farm-to-table cooking demonstrations with local chefs, tastings of regionally-produced foods, educational workshops, and a chance to meet the hard-working people who grow food throughout the region.
This year’s Local Food Showcase includes two morning workshops from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.: “What is the real value of connecting to the local food system?” is designed for buyers while “Pricing Techniques and Marketing Strategies to Increase Sales” is targeted toward food producers and businesses owners and is presented by Chatham’s Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship. Pre-registration is required for the workshops.
