Recent Past Events

November 19 – 22: Explore the Farm with an International Scavenger Hunt!

October 1 – Nov 22, 2021: Join us in sharing a Cultural Food Connection!

The Challenge, Due Oct 24:
- Submit a 1-3 minute cooking video showing how you cook a vegetarian**, low-cost dish that is representative of your culture! And the good news: every submission wins a free bag-o-fresh-veggies from Field & Fork!
- Your submission should be in a video format that can either be posted (YouTube/TikTok) with the link sent to me, or you can just send the video directly to dinalieb@ufl.edu. If cooking with more than one person on screen, we kindly ask that you wear a mask per the University’s mask expectation.
- Considered incorporating rice into your dish as that is an ingredient used by multiple cultures! Additional local, in-season veggies you could incorporate include sweet potatoes, kale, collards, zucchini, and tomatoes!
November 5: we’ll announce the top 5 videos!
- Winners will receive Field & Fork t-shirts and other prizes!
- Everyone will be invited to sign up (first come, first served) to receive FREE recipe bags with everything needed to cook the dishes!
November 19: Registered participants pick up free recipe bags! The Cultural Food Connection Event will commence!
November 19th-22
- Recipe bag recipients will cook the dishes and share reflections on trying a new flavor!
- Those sharing reflections will be entered in a raffle to win a free box of veggies and local meats!

**No offense to meat lovers! But since we’ll be choosing recipes to make into free to-go ingredient bags to hand out to the community, we need veggie recipes to make safe food handling possible for this event.

October 11-16, 2021: Join Field & Fork, the Food Systems Institute, and the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department’s Food Week/ Gators Give and Serve Week!
