100-Mile Thanksgiving, Concordia College, Nov 9th: Don't Miss!

Might you be willing to help promote environmental sustainability, quality local food production, healthy people and communities? You can do all these things and more by attending the 2nd Annual 100-MILE Thanksgiving Farmers Market on Tuesday, November 9th from 4-7pm in the Knutson Campus Center Atrium of Concordia College.  Campus Map (Farmers Market will be in #12)

Meet the farmers and producers of all the items you will want to serve on Thanksgiving Day. Reserve a free-range turkey to be delivered fresh (never frozen) on the 23rd. Purchase fresh, seasonal and organic vegetables including potatoes, carrots, onions, and parsnips. Pick up some Haralson apples for pies and sauces and sweeten both with locally produced honey.

Also available are the best quality, homemade dips and chips that you will want to serve as appetizers. Remember also to show off the entire feast with locally-made beeswax candles of different shapes & sizes.

Choose to have your Thanksgiving Day celebration in 2010 reflect integrity for people & the environment. 
Concordia College has made it so easy, gathering a variety of trimmings in one place.  What better time of year is there to think about food choices than on November 25th? Because if we keep falling back on an unsustainable industrialized food system, either out of habit or because it's easier, things won't change, and we will continue to compromise our own food security, as well as the health of the planet.
