SUMMARY:Creekside Growers: Field to Vase Dinner Tour
DESCRIPTION:About the Certified American Grown and the Field to Vase Dinner Tour:\n\nThe American Grown Field to Vase Dinner Tour invites guests nationwide to dine in the fields of America's most stunning flower and foliage farms. The dinner tour is a cross-country series of gatherings where seasonal blooms and foliage dazzle on beautifully designed tablescapes dressed by top U.S. floral designers\, while gourmet meals are prepared by well-known farm-to-table chefs.\n\n \n\nSince launching\, the dinners have garnered unprecedented local and national media attention and provided a wildly successful way to showcase the heritage of America's flower-farming families. In 2017\, the tour snagged Floral Management's Marketer of the Year Award.\n\n \n\nCertified American Grown\, the organizer of these dinners\, is a non-profit 501c6 trade association who provides a voice for ONLY American farmers. Proceeds from the Field to Vase Dinner Tour contribute to CAG's advocacy and marketing efforts to promote American farms and preserve American floriculture heritage.\n\n \n\nAbout the Farm:\n\nCreekside Growers\, led by owner and grower Sue Dykstra\, has been cultivating a passion for growing a stronger community through local flowers since its inception in 2000.
