"Farm to Table" or "Frisch vom Hof" relating to our German from Russia cultural heritage.

 We will examine some of the many aspects of farming through generations and the varied culinary delights and comfort foods fresh from the fields and gardens to our tables. 

 We have a unique German from Russia heritage we carry where ever we cultivate the soil and sit down at the table.

Brent Mai, Richard Scheuerman and other great presenters will offer intriguing insights.

Watch for upcoming registrations in January. WHO: This conference is to gather those with ties to the Pacific Northwest and early German from Russia settlers to this area of the US and Canada.
