Who we are

The Lansing Area Localvores are a group of people who have coalesced around the issue of local food.  The original motivation was to find a concrete way in which we could work toward making Lansing a more sustainable community.  In June, Margaret Kingsbury suggested offering a “localvore challenge” to the community: try eating only locally grown food for a week, a day, or a meal. This immediately resonated with the group as a concrete, simple way to involve many people in meaningful action.  Eating local food conserves energy, invests money in the local economy, is healthy and tastes good!

The core group of organizers includes:
Ann Andrews
Cheryl Bartz
Jane Bush
Dave Finet
Lisa Hamm
Margaret Kingsbury
Emily Ross
Diane Thompson

You can join us (it’s free!) by signing up to take the Localvore Challenge.  If you would like to volunteer or help organize events, email info@lansingarealocalvores.org.
