Last month, we had the pleasure of interacting with over 250 foodies at the annual International Food Blogger Conference (IFBC) in Sacramento. In addition to running food, wine, and beer tours, Taste Vacations is involved in organizing the IFBC, along with Zephyr Conferences and Foodista.
For the previous three years, IFBC had been hosted in Seattle but made the jump to Sacramento this year because of its growing Farm to Fork reputation. Farm to Fork is actually not a new concept, but rather a return to a more traditional way of getting food on our plates. It is a social movement which promotes serving local food at restaurants and grocery stores, which has been acquired directly from the producer. These producers not only include traditional farms but ranches, wineries, breweries, fisheries, or other types of food producers that are not strictly seen as “farms”.
