A Big FUSS
A Big FUSS is a new, annual event designed to raise funds for a local farmer in need.
While WNY is home to over 7,500 farms, very few of those farms sell their product directly to the consumer, and fewer still go to the trouble of becoming suppliers to Buffalo’s restaurants. Those who have proven to be dedicated and talented folks, ensuring that Buffalonians enjoy fresh-from-the-farm veggies, meats, and eggs while dining at Buffalo’s finest establishments.
Several local restaurants have embraced the local food movement and offer their guests delicious menu items featuring sustainably raised food year round.
Over the last few years, chefs have donated their efforts to a variety of causes connected to Buffalo’s burgeoning local food scene, but none may be more important than lending aid to a small farm that is one of their chief suppliers.
