Rediscovering the Northeast's Forgotten Crops

​Join us for an evening celebrating climate-adaptive perennial crops of the Northeast. Focusing on blackcurrants and tree nuts, we'll hear from two brands working to establish and grow the market for products made from these crops.

​As climate pressures increase, farmers look to supplement low profits, and consumers prioritize functional ingredients, there are many reasons to celebrate these crops and their stewards:

• ​These crops are hardy, thrive in our region, and are inherently sustainable

• ​Focusing on regional production enables shorter supply chains and closer relationships between farmers, processors, and consumers

• ​They produce high quality and nutritious ingredients with broad applications

​The evening opens with a conversation between the individuals pursuing this important work, followed by time to mingle and sample their products. One drink from Farm.One's bar and Northeast-sourced nibbles are included with your ticket; cash bar after.

​Hosted at Farm.One and made possible by the generosity of Great Wonder.
