I just found out about the FamilyFarmed Expo through Groupon.com. Today only you can get a discounted ticket for March 13! The Expo is held at UIC and will have tons of exhibitors and seminars. Here’s some info from the website:
| This three day event runs Thursday through Saturday March 11 to 13, 2010.
Thursday features our world-class Financing Farm to Fork conference connecting local food producers with potential investors. Friday features the Midwest’s leading local food trade show, our Meet the Buyers reception, an innovative Food Policy Summit, and the scrumptious Localicious Party to cap the day. Saturday features cooking demos from celebrity chefs, educational seminars and an interactive Kids Corner. Exhibitors offer a wide selection of local food, gifts and useful information to help you eat locally and healthy year-round.
