Back by popular demand with even more yummy local-grown treats to try! Does living in the 3rd largest city make you feel like you… well – live in a big city? Ready to slow down and smell the coffee- in your own backyard?
Join REI and Bayou City Outdoors for Green Scene 101 & Houston Foodie Extravaganza, as we deliver the scoop on Houston’s local foodie “Green Scene.” Plus, you’ll meet some of the top purveyors in the Houston food scene who might just have a tasty morsel or two to share!
Scoop: Love your veggies and locally grown, organic produce? With farm cooperatives, daily farmers markets, and over 20 community gardens throughout the city, we will show you where to fill up your vegetable crisper. Plus, we’ll show you where you can pick your own tomatoes, blueberries, flowers and more.
Scoop: Did you know we have a dairy warehouse filled with artisan cheeses, right in the middle of town? Tastings are open to the public every Friday and Saturday, pick up the map and learn more.
Scoop: Into microbreweries? You have options in Houston. Did you know we have over 10 breweries? With such a long list, and more and more popping up, you could stop by a different brewery every day of the week. Or, you can head over to one of our favorites, St. Arnold's for a tour and a sip everyday except Sunday! Also, Karbach and Buffalo Bayou Brewing have cornered their share of the local brewing market recently and it sure is delicious.
Scoop: Houston is now one of the top coffee ports in the world! You might get the chance to meet one of the head roasters in town who delivers to his closer customers on his bicycle.
Scoop: Houston is the home for one of the largest and fastest growing networks of local businesses, organizations, initiatives and individuals all coming together to focus on quality of life issues? Join us and get more info on how to get involved!
We’ll help you see the treasure trove in your own backyard and become a localvore before you know it! February 9, 2015, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM, REI, 7538 Westheimer Rd., Houston, TX 77063.
