Buffalo First kicked off it's new Buffalo First on the
First series with a brainstorming seminar on Local
Food Sourcing on April 1. We expected a crowd of about 30 and got 75 (and that's not an April fool's joke). Local foodies, chefs and farmers had the opportunity to meet one another and we developed a list of some of the best sources for local food and what we need to get more locally-grown and produced
foods into Buffalo.
This will lead to the printing of a local food sourcing directory for area restaurants. To facilitate this, please encourage anyone who grows, makes, prepares or serves local food to register their business in the Buffalo First on-line marketplace
today.
Buffalo First is planning a Farm to Plate follow-up meeting with food leaders, in mid-May, to discuss next steps.
