New York Locavore Challenge Starts Sept. 1

The Northeast Organic Farming Association has announced that September will be its 3rd Annual NY Locavore Challenge.

The month-long challenge encourages people to consume as much locally and sustainable-produced food as possible during September.

Each day during September, NOFA-NY and its partners will highlight a fun food-based challenge that participants can complete in their own home or communities. It will also promote a growing number of food and farming events happening across the state.

To conclude the challenge, NOFA-NY is sponsoring a potluck across New York on Sept. 30. Groups of New Yorkers from Niagara Falls to the tip of Long Island will join together in their own communities, sharing locally-produced food and celebrating a healthy month of change and growth.

Registration is free, but donations are welcome. Head over to the NY Locavore Challenge website to register.
