The 2019 North Country Locavore Challenge was a huge success, with over 50 participants for the week-long event. Every meal and snack for the seven-day challenge was sourced from within a 100-mile radius of participation, with a focus on the farms in the immediate area. Participants received a Locavore Toolkit featuring meal plans, tips on local substitutes, a map of local vendors and a few cooking tips for local recipes. During the challenge a daily email was sent, offering recipe ideas, encouragement, and other tips and suggestions for “locavores” to make it through the week. The emails with tips and inspiration for the challenge are available at the links below:
