It’s time for the 7th Annual Local Food Summit! Locavorious is proud to sponsor this great event yet again with locally grown frozen peaches, blueberries, eggplant and tomatoes that the Michigan Dining chefs are incorporating into what sounds like a fantastic menu of nearly all local food for breakfast and lunch during the summit.
Sunday, February 15th, 8:30am – 5pm on the University of Michigan Central Campus.
www.localfoodsummit.org The theme this year is “Food Love”. What’s not to love about that? And there are still a couple more days that you can take advantage of early bird registration – only $40 until February 8th. Hope to see you there!
