The Pick gods’ prerogative is that this prime event gets a little more time to marinate with MauiTime readers. Slated for next Saturday, the Third Maui County Agricultural Festival—“Where Food and Farms for Maui Matte”—offers a buffet of ag-awareness activities and entertainment. The gamut of grinds will leave you spoilt for choice, and your hunger for knowledge will be satiated too, with informational booths including “Ask the Farm Doctor,” as well as an all-ag selection at an onsite bookstore by Barnes and Noble (10 percent of proceeds benefit the nonprofit arm of the Maui County Farm Bureau). Plus, Food Network aficionados will rejoice in the similarly skill-savvy “Taste Education” series (fees apply), where six of Maui’s most illustrious gastronome will take to a theater-like stage, teaming up with industry allies to teach techniques of the trade. Get a free-range egg education from Theo Morrison of The Neighborhood Farm and Bobby Santos (I propose a throwdown!) of Maui Culinary Academy; learn to re-envision your beef preparation with chef Peter Merriman, alongside Alex Franco of the Maui Cattle Company; and get intense with Ryan Luckey of Pineapple Grill, as he works with sustainable fish and vegetables from WeFarm@Kapalua. The imaginative minds behind MauiThing’s hip threads will serve up an all-day Keiki Zone (“because kids learn when at play”), with an Easter egg hunt, gardening, games and reusable bag art. www.mauicountyfarmbureau.org
