The experience
What's special
A free Hastings festival connecting local agricultural identity with chef-led events. Daytime programming includes cooking demonstrations, artisan stalls, lawn-mower races and live music; ticketed highlights add a multi-chef brunch tasting and the evening Potato Ball
What people love
The three title ingredients become a creative brief rather than a single recipe, with regional chefs asked to reinterpret cabbage, potato and bacon in tasting bites and a formal four-course dinner

Taxi & rideshare
Jacksonville International (JAX) is the nearest commercial airport, roughly 40 miles north of Hastings. App rideshare picks up at the Lower Arrival Curb (Poles 1 and 2); taxi/limo booths are on the Lower Level outside baggage claim. Hastings is a genuine 40-mile regional drive south of the airport, so expect a mileage-based fare, not a short airport-hop rate
