Chicago's Good Food Festival →
I just bought tickets to this last night and I couldn’t be more excited for the workshops. Butchering & Sausage making demo as well as classes on canning & pickling, fermented food, homemade cheese making, local & organic eating on a dime and putting vegetables at the center of your plate…there are going to be some tough choices to make!
