Sacramento's Farm-to-Fork festival highlights national obsession with local eats


The farm-to-table movement has taken over America’s culinary scene but one city is living up to its self-appointed title as the farm-to-fork capital of the country. Farm-To-Fork participants were also treated to a day’s worth of live music at the street festival, including the sweet stylings of Bob Dylan’s son Jakob, who performed with his group The Wallflowers. The Sacramento region produces over 160 different crops including wine grapes— the number one product accounting for $128 million—and tomatoes. “People would be surprised about how much of our fresh produce is being locally sourced,” says Steve Hammond, president and CEO of Visit Sacramento. Eight hundred lucky attendees dined al fresco, feasting on locally sourced foods prepared by some of the city’s top culinary talent.
