[Vision2020] wanna eat local food?

[Bill London]

Public Invited to Join the Moscow Food Co-op's Eat Local Challenge*
 
For those who want to eat more locally-produced food, The Moscow Food 
Co-op provides encouragement and assistance.

Visit the "Eat Local" link at www.MoscowFood.Coop 
<http://www.MoscowFood.Coop> to find farmer profiles, sources of local 
food, and info about local food available at the Co-op. The Co-op is 
participating in the national Eat Local, America! campaign sponsored by 
the National Co-operative Grocers' Association.

The Co-op will help by putting "Local" stickers and signage on items 
that are local; even the deli will feature something local.

"We are encouraging people to try it in as flexible a way as they 
want-whatever fits their lifestyle," says Carol Spurling, Moscow Food 
Co-op Outreach and Membership Coordinator. "It could be eating local one 
meal a week or one meal a day"

As an example of one eat local commitment, Spurling and her family plan 
to get 40 percent of their diet from local sources (within 200 miles or 
so) and another 40 percent from regional sources (within Idaho, 
Washington, and Oregon). See her blog, www.palouselocavore.blogspot.com 
<http://www.palouselocavore.blogspot.com>, for updates on her family 
what they've found to eat. There will also be information about the 
steps they are taking to supply themselves with food, like starting two 
beehives and raising laying hens in the backyard.

Those who are taking the Eat Local Challenge are encouraged to sign up 
by sending an email at outreach at moscowfood.coop 
<mailto:outreach at moscowfood.coop>, following the link on the Co-op 
website, or calling Spurling at 208-669-0763. Briefly describe your 
goals, and let us know if it's okay to include your name in a list of 
Locavores that we'll post on the Co-op website.
