Taste of the Valley is no more. The event, formerly held at Melt in Center Valley, is taking on a new form as Lehigh Valley Harvest: A Celebration of Local Food and Farms and will be hosted at Lutron Electronics in Coopersburg.
The event will feature new aspects this year, including separate tasting areas dedicated to apples, vegetables, and cheeses. Participants will be able to sample bites from a variety of local restaurants and farms as well as participate in a silent auction. VIP tickets are available and include early admission (12pm-1pm), an exclusive raffle, a cocktail with Subarashii Kudamono’s pear liqueur, a 2012 farm funds coupon booklet, a Buy Fresh Buy Local sticker, and a tote bag.
Tickets for the event are $25 in advance and $30 at the door, or $20 for students/seniors. VIP tickets are $50. Tickets are currently for purchase at the Buy Fresh Buy Local online store.
