We’re super excited at Zingerman’s to help support this very unique culinary event put on by our friends at Hazon at the Univerisity of California-Davis, August 18-21. The Hazon Food Conference “is the only place where farmers and rabbis, nutritionists and chefs, vegans and omnivores come together to explore the dynamic interplay of food, Jewish traditions, and contemporary life.  Participants enjoy four jam-packed days of do-it-yourself food workshops, lectures, discussions, joyful Shabbat celebrations, kids & family programming, and delicious, consciously-prepared food.  There will be dozens of amazing presenters from a wide range of fields, including food justice, food systems research, culinary history, Jewish tradition and more. Ann Arbor’s very own Oran Hesterman is headlining!”

2011 Hazon Food Conference Highlights include:

  • Tours of the UC Davis Student Farm, Dairy and Brewery
  • Hands-on food workshops: chop, saute and ferment!
  • Classes on the 2012 Farm Bill, Writing Recipes, Urban Farming, Intentional Community, Jewish texts and more….
  • Programs for kids and families; childcare available

We’re soon off to the Summer Fancy Food Show in Washington, DC. This annual gathering brings together the best food makers in the world under one roof and gives us all the chance to meet the folks who make the food we love and sample their latest offerings. A bunch of us from Zingerman’s will be headed to DC (it’s usually in New York but renovations to the Jacob Javits Center forced a move) to scout out new products, meet old friends and a few of us will be leading workshops at the Super Retailer Summit prior to the show. Last year was my first visit and it was everything I hoped it would be–especially the chance to meet a lot of my colleagues in the food world that I had only know virtually up to that point. Our own Charlie Frank will be making his second visit with a booth on the floor and loads of Zzang! bar and peanut brittle samples to share. Check out Charlie’s latest video on his signature creations here. You can also watch the video if you scan the QR code on special Zzang! bar boxes premiering at the Show!
