Eating Good: Food, Nutrition, Access and Exhaustion

As a continuation of 2021’s Balancing the Biome symposium, CRUDE and Humble Bloom are proud to announce the first of a three-part series focused on our bodies and biome’s health, being held Wednesday, April 27th.

Foodies, farmers, freegans and farmers’ market fiends - this one’s for you! This springtime get-together will dive into the world of nourishment and food systems. We’ll explore and expand narratives on food sovereignty, accessibility, and nutrition through diverse agricultural and culinary voices.

Featuring engaging firesides, DIY workshops, joyfully conscious activations and more, Eating Good encourages thoughtful consideration of the labor and love that goes into our every bite. Let’s dig deep and dig in!
