In September, Sustainable Connections Food & Farming Program celebrates Eat Local Month. It’s a reminder to celebrate the people who grow, raise, and prepare Whatcom County’s food by buying locally.

Participate in a number of ways:

• Take the Eat Local Month Challenge online

• Try the Eat Local Month specials at participating restaurants.

• Spend $10 at local markets on locally produced foods.

• Attend an Eat Local Month event.

• Fill out your Eat Local passport, and enter it to win one of four grand prize packages.
