Celebrating Local Food & Local Farms

Farm to Fork is Coming Back to Charlotte!

September 29,2024 • 4-7pm
Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens

We are excited to once again team up with CEFS (Center for Environmental Farming Systems) for a celebration of local food and drink. Farm to Fork in the Garden will have a lineup of some of our best culinary professionals and amazing farms.

Enjoy over 25 different tasting stations, where chefs and farmers have been paired together to create and craft a dish for you featuring one of the many delicious locally sourced ingredients available in our region.

Throughout the beautiful grounds at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens (DSBG) you will find not only tasting tables, but North Carolina crafted beverages from the state’s top distillers, wineries, and brewers.

Bring a blanket to relax on the lawn and listen to live music. Bring the kiddos, as they can enjoy exploring and playing at Lost Hollow, DSBG children’s garden.

The event is a celebration of our local food community and the people who work so hard to bring delicious local foods to our plates year-round.

Not only is the Farm to Fork in the Garden a delicious way to spend an afternoon, it also benefits NC farmers.


All proceeds support agriculture and food system training programs at the Center for Environmental Farming Systems and farmer grants at Piedmont Culinary Guild. Thanks to your support in 2023, PCG was able to give five $3000 grants to local farmers to help increase their productivity.

It’s an evening to celebrate all the wonderful food and food talent we all enjoy here in the Carolinas Piedmont!
