Regenerative farm-to-table event co-hosted by
NACE Capital Area of Wisconsin and
Egg Innovations
LAKEWOOD, Colo., July 12,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers® is proud to
participate in the upcoming Sustainability Showcase on
July 21st, 2022, co-hosted
by the National Association for Catering & Events (NACE) -
Capital Area of Wisconsin and Egg
Innovations. The farm-to-table event will showcase how regenerative
agriculture balances nature to create harmony and sustainability
for farm and flock.
Set on the pastures of the Teunissen Farm in the Dutch Heritage
Acres of Cedar Grove, WI, this
special event celebrates how suppliers, retailers and consumers
have the power to give back to the planet through the businesses
they support.
Attendees' registration includes a property tour of a working
regenerative farm, experiential event setup, gourmet hors
d'oeuvres, an open bar and an incredible multi-course feast crafted
by Nadi Plates, featuring Helpful Hens and Blue
Sky Family Farms pasture-raised eggs. After dinner there will
be a casual educational program including expert industry
panelists.
Natural Grocers' Christie
Zimmerman will be joining the panel discussion. "We're
thrilled to have Christie join us for this year's Sustainability
Showcase," said Sarah Davidson,
President of NACE Capital Area of Wisconsin. Davidson continued, "We'll have the
best of both worlds for our attendees: they'll not only see (and
taste) regenerative farming practices in person, but they'll also
have the opportunity to learn and converse with top professionals
in the regenerative agriculture space. Sifting through all the
information that's out there on this subject can be daunting. This
premier event will inform attendees what they need to know both as
consumers and as premium food service providers, and show the power
of impact that their everyday personal and professional choices
have."
The panel, moderated by Sarah
Davidson, will include:
- John Brunnquell, Ph.D.
Brunnquell, PhD - Founder & CEO, Egg Innovations
- Matthew Teunissen, Owner &
Operator, Dutch Heritage Acres
- John H. H., Industry Consultant
- Christie A. Zimmerman, MBA -
Product Standards Manager, Natural Grocers
"We're proud to support one of our key laying hen partners at
this farm-to-table event. Being able to tour the farm and see the
impact the birds have on the land, pollinators and the whole farm
ecosystem is a unique opportunity. Natural Grocers is committed to
educating the public on the powers of regenerative agriculture as
well as the power of their purchase dollars. Bringing people into a
closer relationship to where their food comes from matters because
it empowers consumers to make better and more informed decisions,"
said Zimmerman.
Registration for the event closes at 11:59pm Friday, July 15th.
