Buy a ticket and select your workshop, and you'll receive three drink tickets and access to the biergarten all afternoon.
- Hydroponic Farming & Juice Pressing Workshop (1-2pm) - Who is a farmer, and what is a farm? These are two questions that many urban food entrepreneurs are addressing as the landscape of our cities evolved over the last century. Today, Urban Pastoral, and their collective of entrepreneurs, engineers, chefs, and developers, are challenging our perceptions of farm to fork, by rethinking our localized food economy. They are not your average farmers, and their farms are not your typical fields of corn. In this workshop you will learn how to grow like farmers of the future. You will have the opportunity to seed and plant hydroponic towers, and then make freshly pressed juices using live greens, with a surprise, Baltimore grown chef.
