Local Food Pledge

We already know how important it is to shop locally. And by buying local food, we support our farmers and economy right here in Lake County! So why not pledge to buy a portion of your food locally?

If you are interested in taking a local food pledge , pledging to eat at least 1 pound a week from local sources, then visit this link:

As an added incentive: by signing up, you could win a prize! For example, the top prize of $6000 worth of landscaping would plant a great garden. (If you win that prize, and don't have room for a garden, let me know and I am sure we can help you find a fledgling community group that could use the help.)

To help you meet your 1 pound a week commitment, perhaps those who have joined the LakeFuture group list can begin to share their favorite places they go to buy local food.

P.S. I wonder if drinking a glass of local wine counts toward my 1lb commitment?
