Hosted by Foodbuzz, the fastest growing food site that aggregates, organizes, and curates more than 1.5 million blog posts from 10,000 food blogs worldwide, the invitation-only festival will take place November 6-8 in San Francisco.

Nature's Pride will be participating in several of the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival events, including the "Afternoon Tasting Pavilion" on Saturday, November 7 from 12:30 - 3:30 p.m., where producers, brands, wineries, and chefs will share tastes and recipes.

The Nature's Pride "Bread Ambassadors" will create their featured recipes at the Tasting Pavilion for festival attendees to taste, discuss, and enjoy.

Festival attendees will have the opportunity to break bread one last time before the end of the festival with classic brunch favorites such as French toast and egg sandwiches all prepared using Nature's Pride bread.
