We haven’t heard of any cornhole tournaments in awhile. While the sport certainly has become pretty popular here in Western PA – if you are new to the game.

I had the pleasure of attending the Farm to Table conference a few weeks ago where several of the area’s farms and natural food companies were represented, showing off their goods.
Let me highlight a few of my favorite organizations represented at the event:
The Green Chef PA is a collection of four lovely women based in Sewickley who are on a mission to change the way people think about, shop for and prepare food.
