local eating in the local media

A couple recent articles and an upcoming radio bit about eating locally via our local media:
“What in the World Is a Localvore” is a project by Hillary Niles. Starting this week the five-minute audio diary pieces chronicling Hillary’s experience as she prepares for and participates in the September Eat Local Challenge will air on Wine Me, Dine Me, Friday evenings between 6pm-7pm on Portsmouth Community Radio, 106.1FM.

Sara Hamilton’s article about preparing for her September Eat Local Challenge appears in the hot off the presses Portsmouth Magazine. (article not available online - you’ll have to pick up a copy of visit your public library, but it’s worth it!)
Two recent articles have featured New Roots Farm and their fabulous varieties of organic garlics: Hillary Niles wrote an enticing article in The Wire and Foster’s featured another.

In the Portsmouth Herald was How Do You Like Your Tomatoes? just in time for the tomato season to begin in earnest, as well as some fantastic beet suggestions from Rachel Forrest.

Happy reading!

    Dear Y’all-
    am in the final hours of a contest promoting simple ways to reduce carbon usage and the prize for the person who signs the most people up is a designer garden. I am doing this because I want to give my mom, a super awesome single parent, her dream garden as a way to thank her for all of sacrifices for me over the years.

    I decided to work really hard to win this contest ( and help the earth, too) as a way to thank my mom for all of her sacrifices for me over the years. As a single parent and a member of AFSCME, she worked numerous jobs all the time to make sure I had everything I would ever need to succeed in life, and to have luxuries like horseback riding lesson, trips to DC, and the latest clothing- these are not given when you grow up in a working class household. My mom loves to garden and I want to win so that she can have the garden of her dreams.

    I am also doing this outreach because I think it awesome that the Center for a New American Dream is making it easier for us to be able to reduce carbon usage in our everyday actions. This month’s focus is on buying local food- which is something I support each week through my involvement with farmers markets in DC. I can’t wait to learn next month’s suggestions!

    Please copy and paste the following link your browser: http://c3.newdream.org/campaigns/c3/register/4a65d61b79e099adf83ded606f736567/ and please forward this email to your networks, if you don’t mind.

    I am nearing victory, and need to keep the sign up coming for the next 36 hours.

    Many thanks,

    Melissa
