Locavore Gift Giving Guide What’s a “loca” and how do I eat it?!   “Locavore” is actually a term used to describe people who eat food produced by local farmers and artisans. The holidays give us a chance to share some of our region’s finest local flavors with others. Liberty Lake Farmers Market and Slow Food Spokane River worked together this year to give you some gift ideas that have a bit more taste of place than the mainstream. Thank You Mail Man! This Season Brings Cards & Gifts and Seed Catalogs for the Farmers A CSA Subscription makes a great gift and helps ensure that the farm will get up and running in the spring Rocky Ridge Ranch  and Green Wave Gardens offer shares, with pick-ups at local farmers' markets. Local Harvest has even more information on local CSA Subscriptions. Purchase a friend a garden of fresh produce for the 2011 season!
