STATE FARE PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRYSTAL KAST
Now in its seventh year, TerraVita gathered together returning chefs and new talent for memorable meals and bites. The food and drinks weren’t the only impressive part of the food festival – thanks to an emphasis on sustainability and a partnership with Orange County Solid Waste Management Department, TerraVita was able to divert 2,969 pounds of waste from the landfill, equating to 99% waste diversion.
