Sacramento's Inaugural Eat Local Potluck
January 19, 2008 - 5 to 8 PM
Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op Community Learning Center
1914 Alhambra Blvd, Sacramento, CA

Let's gather to enjoy a meal and conversation about promoting sustainability and food security, and the challenges and opportunities of eating locally. Prepare a dish to share, relying as fully as you can on ingredients from our local “foodshed,” or the area within a 100 mile-radius of Sacramento. Bring a copy of the recipe and ingredients list with the sources identified; feel free to use our format:

Susan Peabody Ashworth, farmer from West Sacramento’s Del Rio Botanicals, will talk about how small and local farmers support sustainability, and how we can support them. She's also promised to bring salad for all! We'll have herbal tea and a surprise or two.

Seating is limited. Please register soon to reserve your space, by phone: (916) 798-1072 or by email: info@relocalizesacramento.org.

Check us out at www.relocalizesacramento.wikispaces.com , too.

If we can do it in the dead of winter, we can do it all year round!
