The most talked about culinary tour: detailed, vibrant and beautiful in every way.

WE CAN PROVIDE AN UNPARALLELED VALUE PROPOSITION AT AN UNBEATABLE COST

For seven years, COCHON555 has spotlighted the best chefs, bacons and barkeeps at every single event. Together we have motivated a change in consumer behavior by helping them understand why they should spend more money on artisan belly. Our guests love heritage breed pigs and we know how much work goes into sourcing the right porc. COCHON555 has been teaching consumers about responsible animal husbandry and honest food and educating on the importance of supporting craft products that cost more money. Once the consumer connects with the product, they become loyal subjects who seek to be rewarded with honest flavor: We give them Bacon Hall of Fame, a moment at the event when we announce our favorite bacon producer and pass it around the Grand Ballroom.

THE BOTTOM LINE

SAFER FOOD MATTERS

The cost of food is going up, but food is not getting safer. If we are going to change the future of our food, it starts with education. We operate the most honest food tour in North America, with every dollar spent going towards a dollar made for family farms. Piggy Bank will be our beneficiary of the US Tour. The mission of Piggy Bank is to create a genetic sanctuary for heritage breed pigs, provide access to free genetics and business plans that enable emerging family farms to succeed.

You can begin to support Piggy back by visiting http://www.piggy-bank.org to learn more, donate, participate at events, sponsor tour or contribute to the foundation as a strategic partner.
