Crow River Sustainable Farmers Annual Meeting: Expanding the Breadth and Depth of Eating Local

Local Roots Food Co-op is pleased to a sponsor of the upcoming Sustainable Farmers Association: Crow River Chapter Annual Meeting.  This year's theme continues the conversation on local foods and is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 

FEATURING Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl, Twin Cities’ premier expert on food, and a critic at Minneapolis/St.Paul Magazine

Crow River Chapter will bring together area farmers, food advocates, chefs, and others to discuss the potential for moving local foods further into the mainstream, revisiting and exploring topics including:

• Reforming and/or reinstating culinary education in public schools
• Working with area news media to promote the message of local foods
• Encouraging restaurants and groceries to purchase more local foods, regardless of the extra price they may have to charge to consumers
• Creating a support network for growers who would like to produce and process specialty crops.  This network could include: processing facilities; community kitchens; markets; etc.
• Organizing the ‘alphabet soup’ of sustainable farm and food organizations around a common message
• And the Sneak Preview of the new CROW RIVER LOCAL KETCHUP!
