During the week regional farms, restaurants, wineries and craft breweries, along with the SCVB, will join together to celebrate Sacramento as the Farm-to-Fork Capital of America.
In October 2012 Mayor Kevin Johnson, flanked by elected officials from across the region, proclaimed Sacramento the Farm-to-Fork Capital of America, a title which was later also recognized by the State of California.
During the week area farms and restaurants will host unique events promoting Sacramento as America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital. Also, local hotels will feature packages that encourage visitors to attend farm-to-fork events.
