CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - As in-person gatherings continue to ramp back up, so is a local food awareness event.
The Farm to Fork Picnic in the Garden is scheduled to return on Sept. 25 at the Daniel Stow Botanical Garden in Belmont, N.C.
The event pairs the best chefs in the Charlotte area with local farmers and food producers to celebrate locally-grown food and farmers.
Tickets for the event are $110 per person, and include drinks. You can purchase them here.
One of the participating chefs, Chef Patrick Murphy, owner and head chef of Heirloom, came by the QC Kitchen to tell us more about the event, and to prepare a delicious pork chop.
