10% Local Food Challenge Workshop

 

We all know the benefits of eating locally grown/produced foods: it tastes WAY better, it’s better for the environment, better for the local economy and builds an important sense of community. We all know these benefits, but then why do we hardly follow through when it comes to actually spending our food dollars locally? The sad reality is that we aren’t consuming nearly enough local foods to have a sustainable local food system. How can we get into the habit of buying more locally grown and produced foods?

Join us for a fun, interactive and FREE session all about the local food scene in Thunder Bay and how YOU can accept the 10% Local Food Challenge. Don't forget to bring in your favorite local food recipe for the recipe exchange! Click here to register on Eventbrite
