8/1 Wednesday - Locavore Challenge

Ben backsquats. 
Today is that start of our 31 day Bozeman Locavore Challenge. This is our second year doing the Locavore Challenge. Locavore was  the Oxford Word of the Year in 2007. A Locavore is someone whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food.
​The idea for the challenge was born from the need for a summer nutrition challenge and through comments that all of our other nutrition challenges focus on what we can't eat as opposed to what we can eat. If it grows or was produced within 100 miles of the Gallatin Valley you can put it on your plate. 
The rules of the Bozeman Locavore Challenge are simple: 

• For the month of August, strive to eat food (at least the main ingredients, not necessarily oils, spices, etc) that was grown/raised from within 100 miles of home. If your coffee was roasted here, or your beer made here, that counts!
• Take a photo of your Locavore meal, upload it to this public group and tag all of the folks who grew, raised, or otherwise produced your food.
• The more photos you take and upload the higher your chance is of winning something. We will be awarding some prizes to folks who upload more than 60 photos and some prizes to folks who upload 30-60 photos.

Our Bozeman Locavore Challenge was featured on KZBK recently. Did you see it?
