Great food, great people and great times!
A Big Thanks to all of our amazing City Market employees who worked hard to make this event a hit!
And, we thank David Zuckerman for his inspiring talk on what "local" really means, and how it's definition doesn't just involve the mile-by-mile proximity of where food is grown, but encompasses everything from the ability to provide healthcare for local farm workers to the availability of local mills, slaughterhouses, storage structures and farm lands!
