Seacoast Eat Local

There seems to be an invisible network connecting all gardens, whatever form they take and wherever they may be. Take a trip over to the newly launched Seacoast Community Garden Network, take a look around, and be amazed by the number of community gardens here on the Seacoast. Then join — be part of this growing community!

Seacoast Local will be sponsoring “Making the Connection with Ron and Arnie Koss,” twin brothers, authors of The Earth’s Best Story, and the founders of the first nationally distributed organic foods company. The event will be at RiverRun Bookstore, 21 Congress Street, Portsmouth, on Tuesday, May 18, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. This is a free event and open to everyone.

When twin brothers Ron and Arnie Koss founded Earth’s Best Baby Foods in Vermont twenty-five years ago, they succeeded in creating the first nationally distributed organic foods company to sit next to its mainstream competition on supermarket shelves–a step that revolutionized and empowered the organic-foods movement as a whole, and benefited hundreds of farmers as well as the millions of babies whose very first foods have been organically grown.
