Approaching its seventh year, The Brewer’s Plate is Fair Food’s marquee fundraising event. Participants include the area’s most celebrated restaurants and breweries – all independently owned and located within 150 miles of the city. The Brewer’s Plate sells out EVERY year! Over seventy businesses contributed to last year’s Brewer’s Plate with over 1,000 people in attendance. With continued support from locally owned and community-minded people this event will continue to grow every year.
Farm Tour Series
Fair Food’s Farm Tour Series offers farmer-led tours that include lunch featuring local products of that farm. We visit a variety of farms during the growing season ranging from artisan cheese producers to a cranberry bog. These tours run from June to October.
Each spring, this event brings chefs, grocers, food service providers, and other wholesale buyers together with local farmers and food producers serving the Philadelphia marketplace. Hosted at the Reading Terminal Market, Local Grower/Local Buyer is an opportunity to chefs and farmers to create lasting business relationships.
