Eat Locally!

Welcome to Locavores:

We are a group of concerned culinary adventurers who are making an effort to eat only foods grown or harvested within a 100 mile radius of San Francisco for an entire month. We recognize that the choices we make about what foods we choose to eat are important politically, environmentally, economically, and healthfully. In 2005, we challenged people from the bay area (and all over the world) to eat within a 100 mile radius of their home for the month of August…..

In 2007 we extended that challenge to the month of September . We encouraged folks to try canning and preserving food for the wintertime. We hope you’re enjoying your homemade creations.

Tipp City farmer’s market kicks off | Tipp City Visitor’s Bureau
From the Dayton Daily News:
TIPP CITY — The Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market will kick off its third season Saturday, June 13.

Each Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the market will provide shoppers a place to purchase products from local vendors — fruits and vegetables, baked goods and freshly prepared food items, garden plants and fresh cut flowers, handmade products and more.

The market is located in the heart of downtown Tipp City on Third at Main Street.

Anyone interested in becoming a vendor or volunteering at the market should contact Matt Owen of the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce at 937 667-8300. For more information about the Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market, visit the Web at www.tippecanoefarmersmarket.com.

The Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market continues to make plans for the 2009 selling season. Vendor applications are rolling in – promising another exciting Market season in downtown Tipp City. The committee is now seeking volunteers to help run the Market throughout the season.

“We have an excellent location for the Market with committed vendors and loyal patrons,” said Lori Spencer, co-chair of the Market committee. “What we need now are volunteers to help ensure that the Market continues to run smoothly.”

The Market is located at 3rd and Main Streets in downtown Tipp City and runs every Saturday from 9 AM to 12:30 PM, June 13 – October 24. Volunteers are needed to help set up, tear down and work the Market booth.

If you would like to volunteer at the Market, please contact Matt Owen of the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce at 937- 667-8300 or via email to visittippcity@yahoo.com. For more information about the Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market, check out our website: www.tippecanoefarmersmarket.com.
