Slowfood Sacramento

Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op asks “How Local Can You Go?”

Take the Eat Local Challenge and enjoy the best everything our region has to offer! Reduce your carbon footprint and fall in love with fresh, local, organic produce, wine, cheeses and more. 
 
Join the Co-op’s Eat Local Challenge this August and challenge yourself to eat at least 80% of your food from local sources. Pick up a scorecard in the store or download it, track your local purchases for the month, and turn it in by September 8 to enter to win a basket of local delicacies.
 
Buying local is easy at the Co-op – just look for “Buy Fresh, Buy Local” signs that highlight products grown or produced near Sacramento.
