The Sustainability Café on Monday, February 18th will feature Kit Kalfs discussing “The Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty: Promoting the Seen and Un-seen Food Networks.” The Café will be held in Center for Natural Sciences Room 112 at 4:00PM, in conjunction with the Environmental Seminar. The Spring 2013 Sustainability Café/Environmental Seminar series is focused on our local food system.
Kit Kalfs’ story is that of tourist turned professional, having visited Finger Lakes wineries over a dozen times in the 1990s. In 2000, Kit moved to the Finger Lakes and over the next dozen years, he worked at different wineries. In 2006, he and his life partner opened Bet the Farm, a winery and gourmet food market in Aurora. Kit is current chair of the board of the Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty and a ten-year member of that organization’s board of directors. Kit has worked to make that board representative of all 14 counties and the diverse enterprises that comprise the Finger Lakes region's agricultural economy.
