Eat Local Challenge

The Tucson-based The Food Conspiracy is coordinating the Eat Local Challenge in Southern Arizona.  What is the Eat Local Challenge?

It’s a chance to commit to eat foods and produce grown locally.  You can sign up to participate in the challenge, where you will be able to list your goals, to which you would like to commit.

If you live in or around Tucson,  The Food Conspiracy will be stocked with locally-grown foods and produce.  If you live in other parts of Arizona, Local Harvest will help you locate farmers markets in your area, where you can buy locally grown/produced groceries and foods.

Eating locally-grown produce has many benefits.  It is healthier and definitely more eco-friendly than produce that travels thousands of miles to reach you.  Not to mention that you would be supporting your local economy.

Make a commitment today to change a few of your shopping habits and eat more local foods.
