The Savor the Ozarks Dinner Series is a year-long culinary journey celebrating the Ozarks’ seasons, food traditions, and local agriculture. Each dinner highlights the best ingredients of the season and provides a platform for emerging chefs and food business owners from the AFIC@MCO shared-use kitchen to refine their craft, collaborate with celebrated local and national chefs, and build pathways toward financial sustainability.
Through these memorable dining experiences, we showcase the vibrant variety of flavors and talents that define Northwest Arkansas while raising critical funds for the AFIC@MCO Scholarship Program — helping new food entrepreneurs grow their businesses and strengthen the region’s local food economy.
