Eat
Local Sudbury wants to know
"How LOCAL can you go?!?"
Join us in our first ever,
Thursday Night
Locavore Challenge!
What do you have to do?
Every Thursday night for the months of July
and August, create and enjoy a dinner made
up entirely of Ontario ingredients,
with an emphasis of
course on those that are produced within 150
miles of Sudbury. It’s a chance for
you to reach beyond the aisles at the big
chain grocery stores and to connect with our
local farmers and producers and to discover
the amazing bounty we access to up in
Sudbury. It will be a matter of dipping toes
in the water for some, and for others who
already try to incorporate some local foods
into their diet, it will be a chance to
really dive in!
There’s no form to sign, it’s just an honour
system pledge to do your best to eat local
every Thursday night for the rest of the
summer.

Back to the Market!
Just in
case you missed our
e-flyer
this week and didn't hear Wednesday's
edition of
CBC Morning North,
Eat Local Sudbury wants you to know that we
will be back at Market Square for another
season starting this weekend, June 26th and
27th. We're really happy to be back
with more fresh, pesticide-free produce than
you can carry! Look for us at our
outdoor stall starting Saturday.
Weekend reading...
In what is
ostensibly
a five-book review
for the June 10 New
York Review of Books, journalist
Michael Pollan has an
epic essay charting the emergence and
character of the food movement. Or, as
he puts it, "movements." They are
unified, for now at least, by little
more than the recognition that
industrial food production is in need of
reform, "because its
social/environmental/public
health/animal welfare/gastronomic costs
are too high."
(Bonnie
Azab Powell,
