Locavore March 2019 Martinborough

(A locavore is anyone who only eats food from the local area 

https://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Locovore  )

I am looking to get together a small steering group to set up a “Locavore Martinborough March 2019” for people who are interested in the challenge of being a locavore for the month of March 2019 in Martinborough.  The idea is that it is shorter term but more hard core than similar locavore initiatives e.g. in Kāpiti.

If you are interested in helping with this, please contact Jane Lenting janelenting@xtra.co.nz  by 16 November.  I’ll organise a get together for late November, so let me know what times suit to meet.  Alternatively if you would just like to be on a mailing list to find out more later on, let me know.

A steering group would:

Has this been done before?

Work out the “rules” – how strict to be.

Would it be a fund raiser?

Find sources for as many local grown foods as possible, including locally grown and milled grains

Get others involved – anyone keen to help with social media?
