RECYCLING AT THE FAIR
Eat Local / Grow Local Tent

EAT LOCAL – GROW LOCAL is all about eating and growing nutritious, local foods - healthy for you & your ecosystem. Eating local and organic is a big piece of sustainable living – it reduces our need for fuel and (when organic) takes pesticides & fertilizers out of our environment and out of your body. Eating locally helps to connect us with our food source. It encourages us to rediscover the beauty of food and find joy through one of the most basic elements of life.

View the detailed 2009 Eat Local/Grow Local schedule.

So join us! Meet our farmers, beekeepers, our cheese artisans and composters.

Explore new ways to enrich your life – and the planet – through food!
