Welcome to the localvore project.

Summer 2007 Challenges announced! Click here for details.

We are a coalition of localvore groups created in the fall of 2006.  We are generally located in Vermont and New Hampshire. While most localvore organization occurs at a community level, there are a few activities which we have banded together to address.  We started working together on marketing, policy, and food sourcing issues.  We have evolved into a group of local food consume activists that work with other groups involved with local food issues. We are also working more on educating others about local food issues and hope to have several articles written and posted here for distribution in other media. 

The scope of this website is limited to providing the following :

-  Links / contact information to various localvore groups within the project.
-  Publicity materials and information useful for marketing and education.
-  Repository for documents and updates created by the marketing, policy and sourcing groups.

To find a localvore group in your area, or simply to find out more general information about local food and the issues surrounding it, go to the local group section of this site where you will find a link to many different community localvore sites.  There you will find a variety of events, articles, recipes, stories, and more.
