The Seed to Spoon Summit (formerly the Food Independence Summit) is more than just an event—it’s a hands-on experience designed to help you take control of your food, your health, and your future. Over the course of two packed days, you’ll hear from inspiring speakers, gain practical skills, and connect with a like-minded community that values homegrown and local food.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to deepen your knowledge, this summit is all about taking one more step toward greater food independence. From expert insights to interactive workshops, every session is designed to equip you with the confidence and tools to live more sustainably.

All of this happens at Timbercrest, just north of the Amish Country village of Walnut Creek, Ohio— in the heart of a region that understands the power of self-sufficiency.

The Food Independence Summit is now the Seed to Spoon Summit.

As our community has grown and our conversations have deepened, we felt it was time for a name that better reflects the heart of what this event is about. Seed to Spoon speaks to the full journey—starting small, growing with intention, and carrying food freedom all the way to the table.

It’s still the same team, presenting the same great event you know and love. This name change simply brings clearer meaning and stronger alignment with the values we share with our audience.

This is a fresh chapter—one that honors where we started while clearly pointing to where we’re going. We’re excited to grow it with you.
