For 2009 we bring you Practical Local Food. In May we kicked off Eat Local, Kalamazoo! with a Worm Composting Workshop by Flowerfield Enterprises. It was a great introduction to our continuing celebration, featuring how to grow, cook and preserve the bounty of our community. Check back often as we schedule exciting events, classes and presentations. You can also find all Eat Local, Kalamazoo! events on the Fair Food Matters Events calendar.
September will bring back the Eat Local Challenge. You'll be able to pick up a passport from several locations. Then you're off on an adventure to experience and enjoy a variety of local foods. Turn in your passport at the end of the journey, and you could even win a prize! Click here to read about Eat Local Challenge.
