Sept. Food Events - Week 1

[Slow Food Spokane River Hall]

Oh boy, September is chock-full of exciting events spotlighting sustainable food and the producers and ecosystems behind every bite.

The Sustainable September Spokane web site will feature weekly digest of the food-related events on the Local Food Track blog.  Here's a snippet from the first one...

The 2nd annual Sustainable September Spokane - 

a month long celebration of great organizations and activities, helping our area become more environmentally and economically resilient.

Here’s the web site with a regular blog and calendar of events.

Two signature events of the month for the Local Food Track are right around the corner ... These are intro-level conversations in an effort to invite new eyes and ears to considering food and everyday choices as an easy way to start a more intentional path of consumption.  These events also ask people to remember that good food is to be enjoyed too, not just a way to save the planet.  Invite new people if you can
