Our Seasonal Smackdowns are fun, community-driven culinary competitions. Each event centers around a seasonal theme, inviting home cooks to create unique dishes that showcase the chosen ingredient. From the fruity delights of strawberry jam to fiery hot sauce, these events offer a chance for local food lovers to come together, compete, and taste delicious entries.

Proceeds from every Smackdown support AOOA Farm’s Fresh Food for All program, which provides nutritious, organic produce to local food banks. Contestants and tasters alike enjoy a festive atmosphere while contributing to a meaningful cause, helping to make a positive impact on the local community. Because good agriculture should be for everyone!

 Mark your calendars!

Come compete in our culinary competitions for the chance to win fun prizes.
