New Local Food Alliance to Meet January 31

A number of K-State professors are teaming up with People's Grocery to promote some kind of local food alliance, and the first meeting will be a potluck lunch on January 31 at the Douglass Center.

This will be a prelude at 11:30 to the People's Grocery annual meeting, scheduled for 2pm at the Douglass Center.

The local food lunch will involve the K-State professors and other interested consumers, and we're working to involve local producers as well. The idea is to have a meeting of consumer and producer interests to figure out what the alliance will entail, and People's Grocery staff will be there to help plan with the producers for People's Grocery's local food needs.

I hope people read this and get excited about attending and participating in building a local food alliance that helps all kinds of people to grow closer to the sources of their food.
