Chock full of events and ideas, the Nola Localvore Challenge is underway as of tomorrow. One reason I like this version is that it includes movie nights during the Food Justice Film Series and loads of other events to network. I also like that it has levels for those who want to try this idea but maybe not entirely be ready for 100% local just yet. Crescent City Farmers Market has been instrumental with advice as to what is available locally, posting news in their weekly Market Morsel and on their site and allowing the group to table at the markets themselves as well.
The food system keeps growing more branches, making the tree stronger and stronger.
