On Wednesday, April 25 at 6 pm, Jodee Ellett and Megan Hutchinson with the Local Growers Guild, will provide a presentation entitled “Establishing a Local Food Hub in Bloomington”. For many reasons, access to quality local food is on of the most important issues communities will need to solve in the coming years. For an individual consumer in Bloomington access is excellent, but what is the long-term goal for a sustainable food distribution program? What are the obstacles toward reaching this goal and how can we overcome them? The Local Growers Guild has studied these questions in depth and has now begun a grassroots distribution project.
