The 2010 Eat Local Challenge is here. It kicked off on May 1 and will last the entire month. What does this mean for those participating? The goal is to eat food that has been locally grown in every meal--it can be every ingredient or just one piece in each dish of the day. You can also eat at locally owned restaurants that serve locally grown food. A few examples include:
The only catch: this isn't much of a challenge. Gainesville is teeming with opportunities to "eat local." There are farmers markets every day of the week (except Tuesday) in various locations throughout Alachua County. On May 30, the "challenge" will celebrate a successful month with a Family Kickball Game 4-6 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
