We are excited to participate in Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird's Local Food Challenge this summer! It's amazing to see this type of initiative at the city-level - prioritizing and elevating local food is essential for a thriving community. Let's go!
There’s something special about sharing a great meal, and even more so when it’s made with food grown right here in our community.
During the inaugural Mayor’s Local Food Challenge last year, twenty-one organizations invested nearly $600,000 in local food, supporting dozens of farmers and suppliers across our region.
As we kick off year two, I invite businesses, schools, restaurants, and institutions to take part and serve more locally sourced food to the people you feed every day. When we choose local, we support our neighbors and our economy.
