From the Ground Up: Fairfield’s Foods

“The food you have at home grows on you and becomes more important than simply the food itself. It becomes associated with all parts of your life in a very deep way, part of your roots, your inner self.” – Jacques Pepin (Madison, Connecticut).

The food we eat helps define us. It is woven through our cultural traditions and our local landscape, as well as into wider global economies. This exhibition will explore how local foods are important to our traditions and how they have shaped Fairfield and our region’s identity over time. Explore the kitchen with a closer look at ingredients from the farmers’ fields, the ocean, and the forest, and share your own special food memories.
