New guide on Endangered Great Lakes Foods

A new guide is now available that chronicles endangered Great Lakes foods, aimed to inspire food recovery projects and bring these foods back to the table. Published as part of Slow Food USA's Renewing America's Food Traditions Alliance, the booklet includes a working list of rare place-based foods with unique traditions rooted in the Great Lakes region, along with essays from residents working to protect and revive these foods. The list of at-risk foods was shaped by a series of workshops held throughout the Great Lakes, including one in Traverse City in October 2008.

A Local Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just a month away, and Jacob Wheeler, editor of the Glen Arbor Sun, encourages you to eat local for the holiday. Check out which local farmers are raising turkeys, and where you can stock up on bountiful produce, pumpkin pie and cranberries in Sustainable Thanksgiving.

Food divides and unites

Two local teens share their experiences in today's Record-Eagle, showing how food can both unite, as well as divide. Side by side, their articles show the great things that can happen when you keep an open mind, and the cruel things that can happen when you don't. Impressive young women, not only for their writing styles, but their bravery too. Read their pieces to see what I mean.
