Local Foods Forum this Sunday April 15

Great news! Our “local foods group” now, at long last, has a name (!) and an exciting event coming up to which you’re all invited. An enthusiastic group met in Bryant Pond last week and named itself The Local Connection: Feeding Community. They are planning a Local Foods Forum next Sunday, April 15 from 10-3 at Bryant Pond. Students from several different schools will take part in service learning and leadership activities on Saturday, then the public is welcome to join them on Sunday for an Open Spaces-style session to create collaboration around our local foods movement. There are lots of pockets of activity picking up steam and we're excited to make connections between them and spark new ideas, too. Please spread the word to gardeners, farmers, restaurants, and anyone who’s interested in creating, consuming, or distributing local foods. Email me if you'd like to come. Hope to see you there!
