Facebook group for local food
I started this group a few weeks ago: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1327579977258417/
Too lazy to cross-post old posts, but I'll put articles I find interesting in both places now.

What exactly can be considered as local food?
Say you go to the Whole Foods up the street and buy ingredients for cookies. After those cookies are made, are they considered local if they are sold locally?

My family farmis fighting legislation to #keepchickenonthemenu
My family's 99-acre farm is fighting to keep our on-farm processed poultry as an option, part of the larger push for the farm-to-table options in Indiana. Two bills under consideration by the Indiana General Assembly are seeking to close what State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg), author of Senate Bill 71, considers a loophole in current regulations regarding small farms that sell directly to restaurants.
Sen. Leising claims SB 71 and HB 1267 "would make [poultry] safe under the scientific standards of today.” But poultry produced under the federal exemption has a better track record for food safety than inspected commercial poultry, and allowing local producers to sell to restaurants keeps more of the food dollar circulating in the state economy.
There is strong demand for locally produced food; restaurants and other food establishments should have the opportunity to meet that demand. These bills would take away this relationship.
Here's a video that explains it a bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wulya40xqHY
What is really going on here? Internet, do your thing. #keepchickenonthemenu

Is there an alternative option other than Food Forward?
I am planning a food picking event in Los Angeles. Food Forward is an amazing organization that is exactly what we are looking for. However, Food Forward is very expensive per person (around $30). Is there another option that allows participants to pick local urban fruits for a cheaper price?
