Welcome to the Blog!
Welcome food lovers to the Seedling Projects Blog! So much is going on that I want to spill. Each week I’ll feature the latest news on projects that I’m most excited about. Check in for the occasional shout out to events happening in the Bay Area and around the country. Who knows what you’ll find here!
Who am I? I am Emily, the humble and hungry intern and Outreach Coordinator for Seedling Projects. I grew up in Alexander Valley and Healdsburg, fell in love with horses and Holsteins, and found myself immersed in the world of food and agriculture.
Kicking off the blog is my bread and butter, the 1st Annual Good Food Awards happening January 14th and 15th.
Food producers from around the country submit their goods for a blind tasting. Winners are recognized at a ceremony hosted by Alice Waters on January 14th at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. The public gets to meet the winners and buy their goods at the GFA Marketplace. the following day. Then we’re steam rolling into a Bay Area wide food party called Good Food Month. Key word here is month- a gastronomic fiesta for entire month.
Some of the committees are already brainstorming events for Good Food Month like a ‘Hands on Jam Salon’- a block party of jam tastings, making, and music. It’s still in very early stages, but my sweet tooth is already aching.
How about you? Inspired? Excited? Hungry for more information on Good Food Awards and Seedling Projects? Talk to me! My mouth is usually full, so I’m all ears.
