Introducing the Good Food Awards

Today I eat the last of the homemade toffee that’s been tempting my hand since the start of the holiday season. With a stab of regret, I shake the tin in disbelief—all that toffee, really gone? I note the carnage: chocolate boxes emptied, cookie Santas decapitated, gingerbread houses gnawed to their foundations. As I nearly stoop to breaking out early Valentine treats (okay, leftover chocolates from last year), I remember that this late-winter season will not be like other years of the sparse and the spare.

Good Food Month, a series of Bay Area events celebrating sustainable food and their producers, gets under way Friday at San Francisco’s Ferry Building with the announcement of the Good Food Awards recognizing the nation’s best artisan food producers.

However, over the past several months, GFA has come under fire from critics within specialty coffee who have questioned the awards’ process as well as its sustainability requirements.
