Activities During the Challenge

We are well on our way to scheduling an inspiring and downright fun series of events for the Challenge Week! There will be a pancake breakfast as the Kick-Off Event, potluck dinners at many different farms throughout the week, seminars during the day (so far only home canning, but we are trying to get a cheese-making one, too), and a Friday evening Wrap-Up event, which will explore what our next steps as conscientious eaters will be.

Printed brochures will be coming out soon, as well as some sort of electronic version!

The big thing we have been spending our time on is the Starter Baskets: we will be selling (at cost) collections of difficult-to-find local food products (mostly grains, but other things as well). When you sign up to take the Challenge, be sure to check off that you want the starter basket, too, as it will make your life a whole lot easier! Non-corn grains are the one category of food that has been neglected in recent years here in the Valley.

Stay tuned for further updates!
