We’re partnering with the incredible Culinary Breeding Network for the CBN x OSA California Variety Showcase to be held virtually June 6 – 8, 2022, featuring super rad Cali-style organic breeding and seed work. CBN’s Variety Showcase events are interactive gatherings designed to build community among plant breeders, seed growers, farmers, chefs, produce buyers, food journalists, consumers, and everyone else engaged in local food systems. Join us virtually for TED-style talks, interactive Q&A sessions, culinary demos, and virtual field tours. Crops include celtuce, dry beans, tomatoes, onions, squash, miner’s lettuce, and more.
