Edible Austin Eat Local Week 2010—December 4-11
What is Edible Austin Eat Local Week?Of course every week is "eat local week" in our book, but Eat Local Week, our winter fundraiser event, is an invitation to Central Texans to explore and celebrate the abundance of local food and to raise money for Urban Roots, a youth development program that uses sustainable agriculture as a means to transform the lives of young people and to increase the access of healthy food in Austin. This season farm interns have raised over 25,136 pounds of produce —donating 40% of that to hunger relief and selling 60% at farmers' markets and farm stands run by the farm interns. YOU—our readers and community—are invited to dine out, shop, attend our featured events, throw a dinner or cocktail party or simply make a home-cooked meal using local foods and beverages.
