BiteClub's Guide to this year's National Heirloom Expo, a three-day festival of pure food, farmers, gardeners and the future of agriculture.

There are at least a million reasons to attend the National Heirloom Expo (Sept. 8-10, 2015) at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. I mean, if you care about the food you eat, the planet you live on, and, well, having some tasty fun. Here’s a look (BiteClub style) at what I’m loving at the three-day event. Plenty more info (including incredible speakers on topics from GMO’s to Biodynamic Cannabis Growing) online. Also, check out this article from 2014 that goes into a little further detail about why the Expo matters.
