FARM TO FORK 101
LOCAL CHEFS
Farm to Fork 101 would like to thank all the chefs involved with the mission to promote and educate people about the bounty of Syracuse and Central New York.
Traveling to some of the best restaurants in Syracuse and surrounding areas while bringing them the freshest farm food has been one of the most awe-inspiring and absolutely delicious journeys we have been on.
​
Bringing together many really amazing farmers, great chefs, delicious ingredients, and great people has been at the heart of our mission. We applaud all those that continue to support and grow with us.
FELICIA RAND
QUATTRO ANGOLI CATERING
Farm to Table is a way of life that I have practiced since a child. Knowing where my food comes from for my children and helping our local community is everything in the future of our lives. We have gone so far off course in the name of convenience and our children now pay the price with illnesses that are becoming th e"norm". It's time to bring it back to simple and clean.
