LIHU‘E — Kanu Hawai‘i’s “Eat Local Challenge” — a weeklong campaign featuring locally grown and raised ingredients in markets, farms, stores and restaurants across the state — began Sunday.
Now in its second year, the 2010 Eat Local Challenge theme is “Harvest to Table.”
The Kaua‘i event is from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, at Island School, 3-1875 Kauamuali‘i Highway, Lihu‘e. The event is a free screening of “Ingredients,” a documentary features the local food movement on the national level and advocates for the support of green and farmers’ markets. Directed by Bob Bates, “Ingredients” reveals the people who are leading the national movement to bring good food back to the table and health back to local communities, a news release states.
The Eat Local Challenge asks all residents to eat solely locally grown/harvested food for the week. If you can’t eat strictly local for a whole week, there are other ways to participate, from eating local for a day, to hosting an all-local potluck, shopping at participating stores and eating at participating restaurants, the release states.
Joining online gives participants access to updates on market and restaurant offers, and event information. Go to www.kanuhawaii.org to find out more.
