This June through August, Earth Charter Indiana and Indy Sustainable Food Alliance are challenging 100 families and individuals to derive more than 50% of their diet from locally-grown foods, that is, foods produced within 100 miles of their home. Tips, resources, recipes, links, and more will be provided to help you achieve this challenge. More importantly, we hope that you will share your challenges and successes with each other through online discussions.

Here's to good, healthy eating for you, your family, your community, and the planet!

How to Get Started

First, sign the pledge!

Second, figure out where to buy your food. Look on our "Organic and Local Farming Page" for farmers markets and CSA's (community-supported agriculture. Or go to "Resources for Eating Locally" for a list of grocery stores and restaurants. We are starting this challenge at the beginning of farmers' market season to make it a little easier for you. There are also home delivery services of locally grown food and local sections in grocery stores.
Tell us where you've been buying local food by taking our online poll to the right of this page.
