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.
