ST. LOUIS LOCAL FOOD CHALLENGE

Join the St. Louis Local Food Challenge, an event of the Tower Grove Farmers? Market.  Take the Challenge

The Tower Grove Farmers? Market, together with partners and sponsors (like Local Harvest Grocery and Caf?), area farmers, restaurants, and businesses, wants you to become a locavore for the month of June! You decide how strict you want to be ? you can decide to be a locavore for every meal of the month, or you can go as low as a few meals a week. (Locavore is defined here as sourcing ingredients from within 150 miles of St Louis.) Hopefully this Challenge will motivate you to incorporate more locally-grown and produced foods into your diet.

Don?t worry, you don?t need to sign in blood or make big promises you can?t keep, instead this Challenge provides an opportunity to stretch yourself and try new things. See how many meals you can eat using only foods grown or raised within 150 miles. Visit a new restaurant that incorporates local food into their offerings. If you want to eat or drink something that we can?t grow in our region, use someone local. For instance, if you know you need coffee, support a local roaster or coffee shop. We have almost as many coffee roasters and shops as we do local microbreweries!!

Are you ready? Sign up here!  Check out the website for more information.  Sign up by May 1 for $25. After May 1, the price is $30.
