A big, bright Mahalo to The Culinary Breeding Network for all their contributions to the Food & Farm Scene and for selecting Hawaii as their first satellite Variety Show outside of Portland.
We are very glad you decided to #GoTropical 🙂 Another grand thank you to all the Farmers, Chefs, Breeders, Teams, Talents, Creatives and Cool People that brought everything together (especially our very own Jay Bost- Captain of the Farm Nerds;). Our hearts, brains & bellies are so full.
Here’s a blurb and some pics:)

The Variety Showcase Goes Tropical 3/13
It was an exciting Celebration at The Variety Showcase Goes Tropical Event hosted by the Culinary Breeding Network & GoFarm Hawaii this March at Kapiolani Community College. An array of mind blowing crop varietals combined with culture and cuisine were brought together and blended brilliantly in bite sized tastings made by local Chefs at over 15 action stations. Agricultural leadership on all levels and farmers on all scales attended to see what’s being conjured up in the food & farm scene for Hawaii’s future. Mahalo to all who supported the event and we hope to see everyone at the next one.
