"GROWING LOCAL - The Truth About YOUR Food"

Hello EAT LOCAL friends!
...time to celebrate what the season has in store for us...
Let's continue our monthly tradition of gathering together to share food and watch another great film!!!

"GROWING LOCAL - The Truth About YOUR Food"
brought to you by Raw & Juicy and Twin Oaks Farm

The film this month will be "Simply Raw"
Reversing Diabetes in 30 days chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, live, raw foods in order to reverse diabetes naturally. The participants are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food for
30 days. THE RESULTS ARE AMAZING.

This coming TUESDAY, December 14 @

Artesano Jewelry and Gallery
Fountain Square, DWNT FWB

EAT LOCAL 5PM * MOVIE 6:30
We will hang out and eat yummy food from 5:00-6:00ish, then together clean up and and get ready for the movie which will start promptly at 6:30. 

Remember, this is a POTLUCK - so, please bring a food (with serving utensils) or beverage to share featuring local/regional foods.

And it would be great if you could bring plates and cups for your own use, as well - though we will have some on-hand.

Here's a reminder on our food guidelines:
The main portion of any dish should be from local or regional ingredients grown or harvested in Florida, Georgia, or Alabama. For example, zucchini bread should be made with zucchini that's as local as possible. But the flour, eggs, and other ingredients could be from anywhere, though if you can get them local--or organic—all the better.
Any meat should be from organic or free-range animals. And yes, harvested can include wild plants, nuts, fish or game.

Here is a list of what's available in town:
