100 MILE POTLUCK
Eat Local Challenge: May 2006
PTF joins the Bay Area Locavores as they challenge people from all over the world to eat within a 100 mile radius of their home. We invite all local eaters (this means you!) to join us in a celebration of our local food cornucopia and in an effort to raise our own awareness of our place within the foodshed.
:: Potluck Guidelines ::
Our goal for this potluck is to eat from within a 100 mile radius of our homes. Failing that, we will attempt to eat foods that come from within our State, or are purchased directly from small scale farmers elsewhere in the world. Some of us will interpret these guidelines more strictly than others, but the main goal is to pay attention to where the food that we eat comes from.
:: Locavore Pledge ::
If not FROM BACKYARD then locally produced.
If not LOCALLY PRODUCED, then Organic.
If not ORGANIC, then Family farm.
If not FAMILY FARM, then Local business.
If not a LOCAL BUSINESS, then Fair Trade.
