Farm fresh Sacramento

Sacramento’s 11th annual Farm-to-Fork Festival is gearing up for a delicious weekend celebration of farm fresh food, music and much more.

Running from 20-21 September with free entry, the festival welcomes everyone to come and taste a little bit of Sacramento, California.

Grammy Award-winning Andra Day is bringing her mix of jazz, blues and R&B, and Hayes Carll & The Band of Heathens will bring country and rock and roll to headline the musical entertainment.

It is hosted by Visit Sacramento, alongside The Hip Abduction, Chance Emerson, and local Sacramento artists including Arden Park Roots, Boot Juice, Nat Lefkoff, Inner Nature, E D D Y, Zephyr, DJ Stace Lace, and Dunsbar Road.

Served up alongside the stacked line-up is the region’s very best farm fresh produce, with some of the city’s best chefs sharing their knowledge, tips, and food.

The chef line-up includes Jamie Rathburn of Ella Dining Room and Bar, Cecil Rhodes of Nash and Proper, and Pedro Depina of The 7th Street Standard.

Visitors can head to Sacramento’s Capitol Mall to enjoy the free musical entertainment whilst enjoying food from over 75 vendors.

Established in 2013, Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork festival celebrates the region’s food and agriculture.

The city is surrounded by fertile farmland so farm fresh produce is plentiful and Sacramento has been dubbed America’s farm-to-fork capital.

The festival introduces people to the chefs, farmers, ranchers, vintners, and brewers who bring delicious food and drinks to the city’s tables every day.

As well as food and music, the festival also highlights the region’s vineyards and wineries at the Legends of Wine tastings.

Forty wineries set up in front of the State Capitol, and welcome visitors to sample delicious wine from across the region, often poured by the makers themselves, alongside selections of cheese and other bites.
