Co-op Sponsors New Website!
With the Eat Local Challenge just around the corner, City Market is excited to sponsor a new website devoted to providing info about the importance of eating locally produced food.
Whether you want to register for the Eat Local Challenge or learn more about the benefits of being a Localvore, check out EatLocalVT.com! The site also offers a cool “What’s In Your 100-Miles” application to determine where local food is available within your surrounding area.
EatLocalVT.com is updated continuously to provide the newest info on the challenge and related events. Get Localvore recipes and view listings of Vermont Farmers’ Markets, farms and producers. Stay in the loop with local food news and read the blog written by local foodies.
The local food movement is gaining momentum across the country; Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Roger Albee even invited commissioners from all 50 states to participate in an Eat Local challenge in August. He encouraged everyone to eat only local foods for at least one day.
Whether eating local food for a day, week, or a month, the impact of having money stay in the community is huge! Seems too difficult to eat only local food? Try switching just 10% of your purchases to be from local vendors and still make a big difference!
To kickoff the Challenge week in September, City Market is hosting our first ever Localvore Potluck Dinner and farm tour at the Intervale Center’s Farm Barn on Sept 19. This will be an incredible opportunity to connect with other local food aficionados, dine on local delicacies, and tour one of Burlington’s most beautiful and vibrant locations.
Space will be limited, so register early for the Localvore Potlock Dinner by emailing Courtney Lang at clang@citymarket.coop. Info regarding the meal plans shall be provided after registration.
