Roots of Change
“Sacramento is hosting an international food celebration this weekend as Terra Madre Americas joins the city’s annual Farm-to-Fork Festival for the first time.
What began as a yearly gathering on the Capitol Mall is now a global event inside and around the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, filling downtown with the smell of cooking and wine.
“From a food standpoint, this is the biggest event we have ever done, ” said Mike Testa, president and CEO of Visit Sacramento. Exciting that we keep leveling up,”
The festival is described as a giant farmers market where visitors can sip wines from Argentina, Mexico and Bolivia, along with tequila and gin.
“And luckily enough, if you like tequila, they can have that as well. And gin,” said attendee Brian Rodriguez. “We got a Roasted Negro here. It’s pretty good.”
“When it came to seeing the Mexican wine and the tequila, it had me all in,” attendee Curtis Rodriguez said.
“This is next level,” attendee Raj Singh said. “I have gone to Italy, I have gone to Spain, so I love seeing festivals abroad, but I’m glad that this is coming to Sacramento.”
The event highlights the “slow food” movement, which promotes good, clean and fair food for all.
If they are interested in eating meat, we want them to buy better meat that’s produced by people who are caring for the earth and caring for your human health.Michael Dimock
