Food Independence Day

Food Independence Day

Local foods are patriotic, whether you're buying them from producers in your area or growing some of your own. They're good for our local farmers, our economies, our health, and that of the planet. Best of all, they taste great because they're fresh from the soil.

This July 4th, we're asking our nation's first families not only to lead by example but to eat by example by sourcing their meals as locally, deliciously, and sustainably as possible.

Here's what you can do:

  • Join our facebook group and invite your friends to join
  • Petition your First Family to source the ingredients of its July 4th meal from local and sustainable sourceson Facebook
  • Inspire them and others by adding a locavore marker (click "add") to the map below.

Too bad that so many of us in the Southeast can't view local sites on your map because of your ad for Oriental Trading. Please!!! If you must have ads blocking info, at least give us the option of deleting them so we can read the info underneath.
