Notable Moments: The Farm at South Mountain was the perfect setting for this culinary contest among elementary, middle school and high school students. Guests walked through the “cafeteria line” as culinary students from across the Valley proudly sported their chef hats and aprons as they loaded guests’ trays with samples of the tasty, creative dishes they created. While the judges deliberated, all in attendance enjoyed the beautiful ambiance in the pecan groves filled with live music, yard games and children’s activities for the youngest participants.
