2008 Eat Local Challenge


Are you ready to challenge yourself? Are you ready to eat seasonal, local food for the month of May? Eat food in season. Buy from local farmers and food producers. Patronize local restaurants, seafood stores, bakeries, coffee roasters. Keep track of what you eat for each meal during the month of May.

Just imagine a breakfast of fresh berries, yogurt from the Kurtz family, a drizzle of Charlie’s honey, and a scone from a local bakery. How about a lunch of local foods—soup and salad— brown bagged from home or eaten at a local restaurant? Dinner could be local seafood on the grill with veggies and potatoes followed by a dessert of fresh cantaloupe. It is really easy and delicious to eat seasonally and buy locally!
