Eat Up at Piedmont Earth Day Fair
Earth Day is officially April 22, but Winston-Salem will be celebrating Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to about 5 p.m. at the Piedmont Earth Day Fair at Wake Forest University.
More than 120 exhibitors will be on hand. And, yes, there will be food to eat from such local places as Camino Bakery, Caffe Prada, Francesco’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria. Du Mexique, Blue Ridge Ice Cream and Krankies. Chain folks, such as Lowe’s Foods, Whole Foods, Starbucks and Chipotle Mexican Grill will be there, too.
All of them, I presume, are going to try to convince attendees that they are environmentally friendly. Go check them out and see.
By the way, info for the fair says that all food sold there will be free of artificial food coloring, additives or other ingredients, and that all meat must be humanely raised without growth hormones. Expect some organic and maybe a little local.
I have to say I’m a bit skeptical of the idea that every single ingredient in food for thousands of people will be all-natural. I guess we’ll find out!
If you go, don’t be shy about asking about this or that ingredient. No one who takes pride in their food will be offended.
Food lovers also might be interested in the 11:45 panel discussion on Food, Gardening and Living Without Pesticides.
