One Local Summer

We’re pleased to announce that for the second year, Farm to Philly will host the One Local Summer challenge (June 1, 2009 through August 30, 2009)! The registration period is open now - the last day to register will be May 30, 2009. The rules are simple: cook up one meal each week during the challenge using locally grown ingredients (exceptions: oil, salt and pepper, and spices). Post about your meal on the blog, or email it to your regional coordinator - we’ll detail your meal here every Tuesday!


Last year’s One Local Summer challenge (formerly hosted by Liz at the now-defunct Pocket Farm) attracted well over 100 participants from around the world. Some were new to the idea of locavore-ism and for some it’s just a way of life - wherever you fall, we’d love to see what you’re cooking up this Summer using locally grown ingredients!


Interested? Leave a comment or email us (please include your name, location, and blog URL)! We’re also accepting volunteers for regional coordinators - regional coordinators are responsible for collecting meals from participants in their region and posting the update here on Farm to Philly. One Local Summer is only possible with the help of fantastic volunteers!
