Grow Local Tacoma
Remember that little community gardens conversation we had? If only we knew we were following Alice down the rabbit hole….
After over a year of conversations, events and work, the little group has created a new endeavor. Grow Local Tacoma is a new site dedicated to our local foodshed. Foodsheds are the agricultural equivalent of watersheds: The “agro-ecological footprint” necessary to feed a community or a region.
Local food embodies many values we have for our community- healthy communities, a strong economy, equality, healthy environment. However, buying or eating local is not always easy. Grow Local Tacoma is meant to be a hub for information. A place to find resources in order to be more integrated into our local foodshed. Its also a place to support each other as we overcome hurdles to eating locally.
It’s just beginning. There’s still a lot more information we want to add to the site. Comments will be allowed on the blogs in a few weeks – maybe sooner. We hope you all will join us as we venture further down Alice’s rabbit hole…
Special thanks to MultiCare’s Center for Healthy Living for helping make this adventure possible
