OUR HISTORY
Eat Local Sudbury started in October 2006, when a
group of concerned farmers, consumers and food
professionals came together to discuss ways to
promote a local, sustainable food system. We
discussed several solutions:
1. Promote Community Shared Agriculture in Sudbury
by offering information sessions for farmers about
the CSA concept; producing a brochure on CSA to
educate the public; advertising existing CSA farms
in Sudbury and area
2. Facilitate the purchase and consumption of
locally-grown food in Sudbury by opening a co-op
store where local farmers/producers can sell their
products and where eaters can access a wide variety
of local food products in one location.
3. Provide Education to the public about a local,
sustainable food system through presentations,
publications and events.
Eat Local Sudbury was incorporated in November 2007
as Eat Local Sudbury Co-operative Inc.
The Eat Local Sudbury Co-operative store opened for
business in Market Square on June 28th,
2008.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Eat Local Sudbury is as follows:
Environment: Educate the public on the importance of local foods in
reducing a city’s carbon footprint, and creating a
sustainable, robust, food system.
Health: Facilitate the purchase of a wide variety of fresh,
whole, locally-grown foods.
Community: Build relationships between Sudburians and local
farmers who are growing and producing food products
in Northern Ontario.
Economy: Keep food dollars within the community.
DECISION
MAKING
Decisions regarding the operation of Eat Local Sudbury
are influenced by members who are involved and
interested in the co-op. We want to hear from you
about how the co-op should be run. We will be
holding an Annual General Meeting where major
decisions and policies are decided upon – every
member receives one vote. Between these meetings the
volunteer Board of Directors has the authority to
make operating and policy decisions.
