"A locavore is defined as 'a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food.' Though there aren’t many who meet that definition, more and more people are interested in eating what is grown in their area. The reasons may include to know the source of one’s food, to support the local economy, or just to eat the freshest, best-tasting food available."

Big thanks to Michael Hastings and all who came out to participate in the Locavore Potluck!

The Fed Reserve released a new report on the power of regional food system investments.
"Policymakers and practitioners have gained new insights into the potential for regional food systems to promote economic growth for both rural and urban communities through the creation of new or the enhancement of existing jobs and businesses. Regional food system stakeholders have also learned that appropriately targeted policies and support can advance the economic and financial security of low- and moderate-income households and communities."

Shout out to one of the Locavore Heros in our community. Matt has been farming in Winston-Salem since 2004. He and his farming partner Sam Shapiro run Apple Green CityFarm. For Matt, being a locavore means that he eats food that is grown, sold, and trans ferred as s us tainably as possible, whether in town, outside state lines, or with international foods. If he can grow his own or get it local he does, but if not, he chooses the most fairly grown and sold food that he can.

You can find Matt and Sam's delicious and locally grown goods at another Locavore friendly spot, Krankies Coffee!
