The Farmstand’s free Culinary Conversation series returns on October 13 with “Local Food from Farm to Table”, a discussion between Dave Cleverendon of Kinnikinnic Farm, Peter Klein of Seedling Fruits, and their customers Alison Bower of Ruth and Phils Ice Cream and Cleetus Friedman of City Provisions. The farmers and vendors talk about ways they work together to bring local flavor to their customers, including selling at the Downtown Farmstand. Attendees are invited for a private tasting with the vendors and after-hours shopping following the lecture. To reserve seats, call (312) 742-8497 or visit www.chicagofarmstand.com
