Northeast Fork Fest

Come on out to Taylor, Texas for a celebration of local flavor! Sample creative collaborations between 14 chefs and small local farmers, area beer and winemakers and info for foodies and growers.

Join us at the historic McCrory Timmerman in Downtown Taylor, Texas for a delicious *indoor* festival in celebration of Blackland flavor!

Thanks to our “black gumbo"---as the locals once called the thick, dark soil---the rich farmland around our northeast fork of our Union Pacific rail line has been abuzz with agricultural activity for over a century. A diverse cast of creative and industrious settlers from all four corners have contributed to the unique flavor of the east-central Texas Blacklands---a legacy we celebrate with a raise of the glass (and fork) !
