Join OSA’s Micaela Colley and Laurie McKenzie and research partner Dr. Phil Simon for the 2017 Variety Showcase in Portland, Oregon. We’re partnering with Chef Maya Lovelace of Mae to showcase carrots from the Carrot Improvement for Organic Agriculture project. Hosted by the Culinary Breeding Network, the event provides attendees the unique experience to taste new and in-development vegetable and grain cultivars, share opinions, and break downs the walls between eaters and breeders. This interactive mixer to build community and increase collaboration between plant breeders, farmers, and eaters is not to be missed! Learn more and purchase your tickets here.
