The Eat Local National Challenge - Why a 100% Local Challenge?

  • Eating 100% local makes us break our normal mealtime routines and look more closely at the food around us.
  • 100% local meals unlock the creative cook inside us (or at least encourage us to learn some basic cooking skills!)
  • Looking for 100% local recipes is a great way to explore what earlier generations ate in times when local was the only option.
  • Challenges build community, as groups engage in the challenge together. Seeking out hard-to-find local ingredients teaches us about our farming communities.
  • A 100% local day can save money by cutting out the short cuts of preprepared foods.
  • Some people just like a challenge!
