The first-ever "Evening on the Farm" opened Thursday at the state fairgrounds, bringing together local farmers, winemakers and chefs to showcase crops grown throughout California.
The farm features crops grown to represent agriculture from across California. Proceeds from Thursday's event are also helping support the farm, which sustained damage during past storms.
For Woodland chef Juan Barajas, owner of Savory Cafe, the event is also about preserving a family connection to farming and ranching.
"We grew up ranching and farming, so for us, it's very important to carry that legacy," Barajas said.
"When you know the story behind where your food and wine comes from, you really appreciate it more," Merwin said.
"They probably don't want the same chardonnay that was produced 30 years ago for our parents' generation or grandparents' generation, so it's time for us to really understand the customer," he said.
In the meantime, Cal Expo is offering its own celebration of the state's agricultural bounty.
"Supporting the farmers and our local wineries is everything about what we are as a community," said Elena Thrower of Elevation Ten Winery.
