Association holds Eat Carolina Food Challenge
Update (June 2): Deep Roots Market also kicks off an eat local food challenge on June 10.
All you budding localvores out there can participate in a challenge to eat only North Carolina-produced food during the week of July 7-13. (Why not get an early start by holding an all local Independence Day food fest?)
This challenge is being publicized by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, which has the goal of increasing the number of organic farms in North Carolina and South Carolina. The association wants participants to blog about their experiences.
Food and gardening challenges are all the rave now and have become a popular tool for raising awareness about particular issues or initiatives. Path to Freedom has just started a social networking site called Freedom Gardeners and participating bloggers can add widgets/icons to their sites representing various challenges, including the 100 Foot Diet and Harvest Keepers (for the more radical gardeners out there).
Are any of you out there participating in online challenges or sticking to a local diet, for that matter? Share your stories and/or photos and I'll post them on my blog.
