Il Festival Locale del Cibo di Boston si svolge, ogni anno, sulle banchine portuali di Fort Point Channel a Boston. L’evento presenta cibo sostenibile ed economico, unicamente prodotto nella zona del Massachusetts e della regione del New England, negli Stati Uniti.
Partecipare a questo festival significa avere l’opportunità d’incontrare contadini, produttori, chef ed imprese coinvolte in workshop e dimostrazioni culinarie. La manifestazione è accompagnata da attività ludiche e da musica dal vivo, per un intrattenimento vivace ed al contempo una promozione che punta ad incoraggiare e stimolare l’agricoltura regionale, una delle risorse economiche principali dello Stato del Massachusetts.
La vasta diversificazione di cibo del New England intende diventare ispirazione per coltivare e mangiare prodotti coltivati e pescati in Massachusetts, con una forte enfasi verso le verdure e la frutta. I degustatori potranno vedere, assaggiare ed apprezzare le tante varietà di raccolti e prodotti salutari, genuini e deliziosi provenienti da tutto lo stato. E’ un festival unico che vede anche chef famosi, alla guida di un’organizzazione non-profit, sostenere il sistema nutritivo ed alimentare, adottando prodotti tipici ed educando il consumatore, oltre che la comunità culinaria.
Boston è una città grandiosa, ma lo è ancora di più se si è entusiasti sostenitori della cucina e dei prodotti gastronomici coltivanti localmente. Le fattorie nel circondario metropolitano sono orgogliose di presentare prodotti freschi durante l’evento autunnale, che vede il sostegno di Sustainable Business Network del Greater Boston, la cui missione è stimolare l’imprenditoria locale ed i leader della comunità nella creazione di economie verdi, locali e corrette.
