For Chefs

Our group of chefs in Madison meet once a month to evaluate two different crops each month. The tastings generally take about two hours one morning per month, and we rotate among the restaurants participating. We were unable to complete chef tastings in 2020 due to COVID but are hoping to resume as soon as conditions allow.

If you are a chef in Wisconsin who would like to participate, please contact us at seedtokitchen@hort.wisc.edu.

Extension colleagues Kevin Schessow and Jane Anklam organize a couple tasting events each year in the Spooner and Superior areas of Wisconsin. We also have occasional events in other cities in Wisconsin. If you are interested in hosting an event, or finding out more about when one is planned near you, please contact us.

We typically host the Farm to Flavor Dinner each fall where each participating chef features a vegetable variety or two that were exceptional from that years trial in a small plate dish for the public. This is always an amazing event due to the talent and generosity of the chefs we work with. Please see our "For Eaters" page for more details and the 2022 event registration link.
