Menu for the Future Deadline!
Let’s Talk Food Discussion Groups
The Mosier group of Gorge Grown is kicking off an ambitious project this winter: they’d like to help set the record for the largest number of food discussion groups running at the same time.
Starting the week of February 20th, groups of 8 -10 people will be starting -off in all of the towns in the Gorge –from Goldendale to Parkdale - meeting once a week for 6 weeks.
Using the Menu for the Future discussion course book (www.nwei.org), the groups will explore the confusing number of food choices and contradicting information around health, fair trade, industrial agriculture, organics, family farms, sustainable food systems, GMOs and more.
At the end of the course, the Mosier group will be hosting one big community potluck with all of the participants from all of the individual groups.
If the Mosier group can organize more than 10 groups (that's one in each community), we will hold the worlds' record. Unofficially, that is.
Course books cost $17 and can be purchased on the first night of your local group convenes. Scholarships also available.
