Pre- and post-conference tours
Participate in educational tours showcasing best practices before and after the conference! Growers, producers, and market owners are collaborating across borders to create an international culinary trail – join us for the 2020 Preview tour! The international trail extends across a 1,500+ km route of major thoroughfares and charming country roads, providing a rich variety of historical, cultural and geographic landscapes. You’ll enjoy stops at farms, wineries and breweries, agricultural value-added businesses, farmers markets and restaurants supporting locally grown agriculture. The journey will showcase some of the finest food experiences in the states of Vermont and New York in the USA as well as Quebec and Ontario in Canada. Choose the full three-day tour or participate in just a portion – registration is flexible to meet your schedule. Pricing and specifics will be posted soon.
