Farm Star Living Harvest Showcase and Trends 2017 Wednesday 01 February, 2017
I was invited to a special food media event presented by Farm Star Living, a national lifestyle resource promoting the farm-to-everything movement. Eating healthy is important but know which brands are out there is even more important that can give you ideas what is really organic and some of the trends they are introducing for better food consumption. More and more people want to know what is in their food, is it organic, where is it harvested and is it truly healthy? At the Farm Star Living Harvest Showcase I got an opportunity to explore new brands and sample a plethora of healthy food options and snacks in an interactive room of vendors.
We explored the showcases and got so much food swag it almost look like we all went grocery shopping. The trend for food eating in 2017 is the year of the healthy snacks. Brands are coming up with new creative ways for consumers to snack on the go that are tasty and healthy that is easy to travel with. Sounds about right for my lifestyle!
Each booth had their own station of samples and even live demos to taste the food and most gave you goodies to go home with. Some of the brands I seen in the store and know them, but many of them are new companies I discovered. Many of these brands are in your local grocery stores or in your favorite healthy store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joes). I am so happy there are so many brands who are catering to people who are looking for better food options. I am definitely a person who wants to know if my food has GMOS, high frutose corn syrups, extra unnecessary preservatives and more. The brands presented at the Farm Star Living event all of them pride themselves of listening to consumers needs and getting them the best tasting food.

This is my type of event. I loved eating fresh at my granma’s farm and I love it more as an adult.
OMG That must have been so much fun!!!! Those strawberries look so awesome, l am going to get some from the kitchen right now. The salad looks great too, so does the pineapple and everything else 🙂

I am not a health expert or anything like that but I do love shopping for organic and healthier choices. This sounds like a lovely event to attend! There is so much fresh produce to enjoy.
I love that you said one of the trends is “food transparency”. I think that’s so important. I need to be more intentional with my shopping as I try to get my health back in order.
This looks a fabulous foodie event. I would love to attend something like this to learn more about the farm-to table movement.
This looks like it was an incredible event! I would have loved it with all the food! I love farm-to-table.
A lot of that food looks delicious! What a smart event – and some great takeaways (no pun intended).
I love the idea of seeing fresh, farm foods at events like these. It helps me think healthier when I grocery shop.

OMG this looks like a fun event. Everything looks tasty and the best part is that is healthy. It reminds me of going to Costco and being able to sample treats. I would have loved to be invited.
This event looks amazing. My preference is farm-to-table, but when I can’t get it directly from the farmer, I try to stick with companies that provide quality, healthy food that I can trust. My goal is to eat organic, nongmo food whenever possible.
