\nHaley and Arthur met with Fairplex head horticulturalist Don Delano, who is responsible for cultivating his enormous garden full of unusual crops like squash and chocolate-infused mint. At the Fair, people will not only be able to view these plants, but also indulge in yummy treats with cooking demonstrations.
\nAt the Farm Kitchen, head chef David Teig treated our hosts Trent and Kara to freshly baked flatbread grilled with farm-fresh vegetables picked onsite at the Farm. Topped with figs, arugula, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto and cheese, the hosts\u2019 tastebuds were overwhelmed with the deliciousness of Chef Teig\u2019s creation as they sank into foodie bliss.
\nFortunately, it\u2019s not just our hosts that have the opportunity to taste Farm Kitchen dishes. Everyone can try the flatbread at LACF.
\nWe invite you to use all of your senses to soak in the full Farm experience. So look, smell and eat up! Don\u2019t forget to add the Farm to your LACF bucket list!
