eatlocalmonth
Join me this April in shifting at least $10 of your weekly food budget to local food in conjunction with Lowcountry Local First’s (LLF) “Eat Local Month.” As LFF’s official website says, $10 “may not seem like much, but collectively this shift will have a significant impact on our local food system and economy.”
Follow me on Twitter to keep up with my experiences during Eat Local Month!
Purchasing local food is incredibly easy, especially with the help of the following resources/tips:
- Shop at Whole Foods on April 1st
- Ask for local products at your grocery store
- Attend an Eat Local Month Event
- Vist LLF’s Resource Page
- Shop at one of the many farmers markets
- Sign up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture share) with the help of the 2014 Farm Fresh Food Guide.
- When dining out, ask your server what’s local on the menu
- Buy seafood fresh off the dock from Crosby's Seafood or sign up for a CSF (Community Supported Fishery share).
If you are participating, be sure to share your experiences on Twitter with #eatlocalchs
