Celebrating Local Food, Together.

The StoryLab Pop-Up Series transforms farms, inns, breweries, orchards, historic buildings, and other unique venues into unforgettable culinary experiences that celebrate the people, places, and flavors of the Chenango County area.

Each event is built through collaboration, bringing together members of the Ok, Chenango Food Trail to create one-of-a-kind experiences where local food, art, music, and community come together. No two events are ever the same because every venue, season, and partnership tells a different story.

More Than a Dinner. It's a Showcase for the Ok, Chenango Food Trail

Every StoryLab Pop-Up begins with a simple idea:
What happens when local businesses create something together that none of them could create alone?

Each event draws from multiple trail members, creating opportunities for collaboration while encouraging guests to continue exploring the region long after the evening ends.A single dinner might feature:

Produce from several local farms
Bread from a neighborhood bakery
Cheese from a regional creamery
Beer, cider, wine, or spirits from local producers
Floral installations from local growers
Handmade ceramics from regional artists
Live music from local musicians
Stories shared by the farmers, chefs, and makers themselves

Every participant becomes part of a larger experience.
