N.O.W - Localvore Vermont

What is localvore?

Localvore is a movement that challenges its participants to eat all local foods (local meaning grown or produced within a 100 mile radius.) Writer and professor Bill Mckibben ate local for 7 months while living in Vermont and really brought the message of this national movement home.

Now the question is, why localvore? Well, in a world with quickly diminishing resources it is becoming vital that we try to conserve by eating food that is grown or produced close to home, therefore decreasing cost, time and energy in the transit process from the grower/producer to the stores. Also, buying local keeps dollars spent local and enhances profits for our neighbors who are producing the food. And in this the era of mass production of food by large corporations and factory farms from faraway places, there are many who just feel better knowing where there food has come from.

Take a look at the resources below for more detailed information and how you can get involved. Also, City Market has created a pamphlet with all the local foods in its store that are available for purchase. They even have a convenient display set-up next to the front door with many local foods in one spot ready to be purchased.Take the challenge and enjoy!!
