What it's all about

Our underlying theme is celebrating nutritional innovation, inspired by J.H. Kellogg’s contributions to food and wellness - including his role in peanut butter production. At the heart of our festival is the joy of spreading peanut butter - a favorite that brings people together. Complementing these themes, we invite individuals to explore cultivating food independence by offering knowledge, tools, and hands-on experiences that equip them to grow, preserve, and create with confidence at home.

A large number of peanuts spread out on a flat, concrete surface under sunlight. A woven wicker basket is placed nearby, empty and tilted slightly. Shadows cast by the peanuts and the basket suggest it is late afternoon.
