On April 9, 2024, the so-called "Local Food Meet-Up" was organized in Seinäjoki, where various producers gathered for a mini fair. In addition, buyers from shops and restaurants were invited to participate in "speed dating" with the producers.
There were 18 producers present who presented their products to approximately 25 buyers from both restaurants and shops in the local area.

On Friday, March 22, 2024, the owner of the project, Österbottens Svenska Lantbrukssällskap, celebrated its 120th anniversary. 

The project "Kvarken Plate - Ostrobothnia on the Plate/Pohjanmaa lautasella" had the honor of planning the grand anniversary celebration held at Carpella in Karperö, Korsholm, outside Vaasa. We planned the festive food exclusively using Ostrobothnian ingredients, in collaboration with the vocational school Yrkesakademin i Österbotten (YA)

First up was lunch, which consisted of the following: 

Eggs

Eggs are nature's versatile nutritional powerhouse containing high-quality protein. Eggs contain several minerals and trace elements. Eggs contain all the nutrients the human body needs except for vitamin C.

Eggs have many uses in cooking and baking

They add lightness to muffins and shine to buns. Eggs make sauces and puddings creamy. Eggs provide texture and height to cakes. Eggs give a crispy texture to meringues. Eggs emulsify salad dressing. Eggs enhance the taste, nutritional value, texture, color, and appearance.
