We do that by: - creating opportunities to celebrate local food;
- creating opportunities to grow and eat locally;
- developing and facilitating educational opportunities around food; and
- networking community members, organizations, and institutions to create, maintain, and strengthen mutually beneficial relationships that build a strong local food culture.
But you, as a citizen and consumer, are the one who can really make a difference by: - buying and eating local foods;
- sharing meals with friends and family;
- meeting the fine folks growing your food;
- trying your hand at growing your own;
- starting or joining a community garden;
- volunteering at a school garden;
- learning more about why going local matters;
- becoming an advocate for local food; or
- making a charitable donation to PLACE
