 We are Kristofer and Joanne Young, of Ojai. founders of this locavore project, centered in the Ojai Valley, but including Ventura County, the State of California, and the entire US. The project is called EAT LOCAL ONE YEAR and will run for the entire year of 2009. You can communicate with our group by registering with our Eat Local One Year Forum. A locavore is a person who pays attention to where her/his food comes from and commits to eating local food as much as possible. We are looking for 100, or more, folks to join us, prior to December 31st of 2008, and for the entire year of 2009, in a "core" adventure. If "core" participation looks like something you want to do, call us at 640-7629. We are also looking for 10,000 people throughout Ventura County to join us in a less-rigorous fashion by doing what works for them with eating local (we really mean the 10,000). But that's not all, we are looking for 100,000 non-core participants in the State of California, and one million in the US. EAT LOCAL ONE YEAR is the subject (filming has begun) of a documentary film by Quarter Mile Films, Inc. Learn more about the project and participate in project discussions by joining the Eat Local One Year Forum. If you have difficulties with, or don't use computers, or would like to talk with us, call 640-7629. We look forward to your joyful and cooperative energy!!!
