The Incredible Edible Insect Event!
Bring the entire family! This will be a family fun, event, with plenty of activities for the kiddos. We will have face painting, painting with cochineal, cricket race cars, honey tasting and beekeeping and much more!
Admission grants you entrance into the park and all the family friendly activities, as well as a presentation on pollinator gardening by San Antonio horticulturist, David Rodriguez.
For those who want to partake in the 4 course tasting, designed specificially for our event by renounced chefs, the cost is $25 per adult and $10 per child.
Don't worry if you are a little squeamish about eating insects... these are farm raised, specifically for human consumption. And most recipes incorporate insects into the food... they aren't necessarily the main highlight of the food. For example, cricket flour (flour with cricket powder for added protein) will be utilized. Come and join us and add yourself to a short list of individuals who have dined on the delicacy of drone brood and much more!
Hope to see you there! You can purchase tickets in advance or purchase at the door. Tickets are limited, however, so we do recommend pre-purchasing. sabot.org
