All Natural Food Fest

The Fair will offer all-natural food and drinks and serve it using environmentally friendly serviceware products. 

All our serviceware at the Fair is compostable or recyclable, so nothing ends up in the landfill.  The food vendors at the Fair are trying to use as much local produce as possible, given the seasonal weather.  All meats served are from animals raised humanely without growth hormones.  Some of our food offerings are made with ingredients that are organic.  All taste delicious.  We will have a wide range of food available from Mexican prepared-to-order, Mediterranean fare, vegetarian dishes, pizza fresh from a wood-fired oven on-site, and ice cream or gelato.  Bring your taste-buds and your appetites.  This is not your normal festival food.
