Kansas State Fair visitors can expect to try new recipes, discover From the Land of Kansas members goods and learn more about local, Kansas products at the From the Land of Kansas booth at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson Sept. 11-20. The Kansas Department of Agriculture’s trademark program will feature numerous Kansas products and ingredients for fair goers to sample and shop from at the booth.

Kansans visiting the From the Land of Kansas booth will be able to learn how to cook using From the Land of Kansas member ingredients from Chef Alli’s cooking demonstrations on both weekends of the fair. Visitors can also take home a collection of Savor the Season recipe cards. The Savor the Season cards feature fruits and vegetables that can be found at local farmers’ markets and grocery stores and offer nutrition tips and techniques on how to select, store and prepare.

“We are excited to be sharing more of Chef Alli’s recipes featuring more of our member’s Kansas-made products to Kansas State Fair visitors,” said Julie Roller, From the Land of Kansas specialist. “Fair visitors will enjoy sampling Chef Alli’s creations and learning how to incorporate Kansas ingredients into easy-to-make recipes.”
