Local Food Abundance
There are many thing that need to be accomplished for our town to be self sustaining, but none are so vital as feeding ourselves. In 2009 we are focusing our efforts on Local Food Abundance. To accomplish this we are doing a number of things:
Our events are all focusing on food, and most include eating it!
We are encouraging gardening on an individual basis as well as involvement in the several community gardens through our newsletter, our speakers, and every other means we can find. We have even started bringing edible landscapes to home gardens in Willits through the Little Red Wagon planting project.
We are partnering with Willits Action Group (WAG, a project of North Coast Opportunities) in Mendo Food Futures. This project has many aspects including the development of local grain and dried bean storage through the sale of bulk dried grains and beans.
The Now and Then Film Series is featuring interesting and topical films about food and the processes for growing it and getting it to our plates.
