Self-proclaimed "beyond organic" farmer Joel Salatin, shares his vision for the future of food in America as The Roosevelt 2.0 in Ybor City hosts a local farmer supported dinner in April.
All-star Tampa Chefs Ferrel Alvarez of
Cafe Dufrain, Greg Baker of
The Refinery and Byron Gabel of
Grand Hyatt Resort create a farm-to-fork dinner using locally grown food, including goat cheese from
The Dancing Goat in Tampa and vegetables from
King Family Farms in Bradenton.
Salatin, whose
Polyface Farm was featured in the book "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and in the documentaries "Food, Inc." and "Fresh," then takes to the stage to share his knowledge of sustainable farming with the sold-out crowd. He finishes the evening with a book signing of his latest work, "Folks, This Ain't Normal."

83 Degrees Managing Photographer Julie Busch Branaman here. Just be forewarned: The food looks so good, you may drool on your keyboard.
