eat beets eat local

In celebration of spring, let's start a multiLocal food project. The first Clemson Farmer's Market of the season is tomorrow and I'll be there, HUNGRY. When and where are your markets? What's selling? and Who's growing it? Create a mini project on your local market and post them throughout the month (or in Dylan and Maddy's case of Siberia, whenever ya'll start grow good stuff). Bio pic a farmer. Brand a local product. Map the activity around the food. etc...

Solutions are about a transference, a change of energy. The solutions to current 'food' problems, of our relationship to the land, are not within this circle/cycle but in all the related (presently devalued) ones.

PETA wants you to start doing an ad campaign.

beets are sooo meaty. It rained today, so no market I guess. I'll formulate a plan for the next one. I'm thinking a really intense site plan, like a fake grocery store but on a grassy knoll.

grublocal is both a noun and a verb-command. I like titles that are ambiguous.

Temps said...

grub. grub map. grublocal. I like grub local too! but grub map and grub have such a bump bum flat smack sound.

Kaitlyn said...

im all over some grublocal.

mooresy said...

haha, "grubmap" does have a bum-smack sound to it.

Temps said...

well the slogan obs can be grublocal. of course they'll be grubmaps and if something printed comes of it, grub works.

for now. tag local food related entries as grublocal.
