“The Town That Food Saved” Book Discussion Livingston Manor NOVEMBER 13

“The Town That Food Saved”

 Thought Provoking Book Discussion

Tuesday, 
November 13, 6:00 p.m.

ON THE HEELS OF THE LOCAVORE CHALLENGE, which promoted eating locally grown and produced food, gather with us to discuss a  stimulating book  on the subject, “The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food” by Ben Hewitt (Rodale Press, 2009) and explore what might work here.
The book takes an inquisitive peek behind the curtain of a town dubbed “the
Silicon Valley of local food,” Hardwick, Vermont (pop. 3,200)  that jump-started its economy with a stunning number of food-based businesses built by entrepreneurs supporting each other in a variety of ways.

Book discussion participants can purchase the book at Morgan Outdoors for
the discounted price of $19.95 and $17.95 for NOFA-NY members. Books may
also be borrowed from the library.
Participants are welcome to bring a light
local refreshment to share.
Beverages will be provided.

Hosted  by Maria Grimaldi, Catskill Hudson Regional Rep, NOFA-NY 
and  Morgan Outdoors.
Co-sponsored by the Livingston Manor
Library.

Locavore Potluck and Discussion The Town That Food Saved

This idea hatched when Peggy Johansen and Lisa Lyons were hiking one morning, then spread to a conversation with Maria Grimaldi, NOFA-NY Regional Rep  . . . and like
all organic things it spread into planning a locavore event!
