100 mile radius potlucks

Submitted by anna lisa gross on Tue, 03/03/2009 - 09:56

We started having monthly 100 mile radius potlucks in July 2008, and this month will have our 9th one! The publicity has been in all the usual places (Pal-Item, Waynet, WMUB, Earlham, etc.), and the turn out has been anywhere from 25-45 people per month.

Focusing on using ingredients from within 100 miles of Richmond has given people an engaging challenge, and brought strangers together around a common vision of sustainable agriculture.
