For over a decade, all September long, our region comes together at various events to celebrate our identity as the Farm-to-Fork Capital. Visit Sacramento ensures there is something for everyone and ensures proceeds from these events are reinvested to strengthen and support the growers, workers, and chefs who truly make it possible to feed the world. More than 10,000 people flock to downtown Sacramento every year for the Farm-to-Fork festival on Capitol Mall.
This free-admission event is like a farmers' market and music festival rolled into one. The Tower Bridge Dinner is one of the region's most anticipated food events, but it is also a critical fundraiser. Portions of the proceeds have gone to help educate more than 70 children of migrant farm workers at Sac State, which allows them to further impact our community in new ways as they become adults.
We are proud to be part of a $12 billion ag industry. NorCal Pride is real, and living here means you have unique access to the very best food on the planet. Join in the fun and support Farm To Fork, go to a festival, try a new local restaurant or frequent one of more than 40 farmers' markets that are probably closer than you think.
And for an extra dose of feel-good pride download the Very Local App for free and watch KCRA 3's Farm To Fork Special, streaming now. Ariel Roblin is the president and general manager of KCRA 3 and My58. See more of her editorials here .
