A Kingdom So Delicious
Kingdom So Delicious is a three week culinary tour of Door County starting on
September 9th and running through September 27th. This annual celebration of
farm and food is organized by the Door County Visitor Bureau (DCVB) and the
University of Wisconsin Extension Service. "Kingdom" will be an exploration of
food producers and food preparers during which visitors will be able to
participate in multi-level culinary adventures throughout this popular vacation
destination.
There will be tours of organic vegetable, meat and egg producers, specialty
products like grass fed beef, elk and anything else interesting and food-related
— like the USDA Potato Gene Bank right here at latitude 45. Demonstrations on
food preservation, discussions on why heritage vegetables are such a vital
genetic resource and other presentations of fun facts to know and tell round out
the offerings.ducts from the traditional to unusual, from Booyah to Burbot.
Lots of mid-week events are being planned to appeal to both visitors and residents.
That leaves weekends for the harvest festivals already planned by the communities up and down the Peninsula like Carlsville Day and the Sister Bay Farmer’s Market. During our days in Southern Door, there will be a chance to experience the Belgian culinary and farming traditions.
The following week we’ll investigate Northern Door’s specialty producers, learn how to press cider, make sauerkraut and grow specialty vegetables. The third week will focus on Washington Island where such interesting things have been done in reviving traditional sustainable agriculture, specialty farming, fresh flour grinding and much more.
