Locavores, rejoice! RIPE! is coming to Cleveland Botanical Garden for three days in early fall, 2010.
 
RIPE! Food & Garden Festival is an exciting, new event whose time has come. RIPE! celebrates the edible gardening revolution and our region’s thriving commitment to local food. At the time when nature’s bounty is at its peak, this joyous festival offers you one-stop access to our most prominent local food purveyors and proponents, along with the farmers and gardeners who are bringing fresh food to our own backyards. We will show you what, when and how to grow and eat, and how you and your families can enjoy yourselves enormously in the process.
 
The Garden’s beautiful grounds provide the inspired setting for a community-wide celebration of the fall garden, delightful harvest-inspired foods, and the people who create and relish them.
 
RIPE! visitors can expect a leisurely fall day full of fun, delicious food, and inspiring gardening ideas. Amidst 20 outdoor gardens, you will interact with the region’s wide array of local experts, including area farmers, farm to fork champions, restaurants specializing in local food, slow food practitioners, gastronomists and green gardeners. Your will bring home fresh ideas for your garden, your kitchen, and your healthy lifestyle — as well as recipes, tips and locally prepared foods from the minds, stoves and drawing boards of our area’s most exciting food and garden trendsetters.
