Now you can find a local farm (or farmer) to love. The 19th annual Eat Local + Organic Expo, hosted by the Kansas City Food Circle, returns this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Johnson County Community College (12345 College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas). Farmers will be on hand to sell greens, herbs, free-range meat, as well as to chat about community supported agriculture subscriptions. Every hour, on the hour, they’ll have a 15-minute workshop on how to eat local.

The Roasterie’s monthly food truck brunch returns this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot across from their factory (1204 W 27th Street). Tito’s BBQ, Slater’s, El Tenedor, and Pita for Good will be on hand. You can also have coffee drinks and Sporting KC is bringing a mobile futsal court.

Celebrate your bracket victory or feel free to lament its demise with a proper brew. #TapList, our weekly beer calendar and feature, has got plenty of new beer options for you.
