The 5th Annual Pastoral Artisan Producer Festival (APF), presented by The Specialty Food Association will take place on Saturday, April 25th, 2015, from 11am-3pm at the Chicago French Market (131 N. Clinton St., Chicago), which co-produces the festival with Pastoral.

Greg O’Neill & Ken Miller, co-owners/co-founders of Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine, created the APF to showcase the talents of local, national and international producers of high quality artisan foods and beverages. The APF is now one of the largest free events of its kind in the Midwest and honors almost 100 artisan producers who are dedicated to craft food and beverage production.
