Local Food Awareness Campaign

In an effort to better connect the agricultural community more directly with consumers in the Yuma area, Transition Initiative Yuma has commenced a Grow-Sell-Buy Local food campaign.

The goals of the campaign are to connect interested farmers, grocers and consumers and establish alternatives to market local food more directly from farmers to consumers. TIY is officially looking for volunteers to attend the farmer's market which starts soon and collect contact information of consumers who would be interested in purchasing locally-grown and marketed produce as well as pass out buy local pamphlets.

If you are interested in volunteering for any of the market days, please contact Mike at yumatransition@gmail.com for more information.

If you are a farmer, or you know someone in the agricultural business that might be interested in developing a local food economy, please pass along one of these grow local pamphlets.

If you are a grocery store owner/manager/employee and are interested, print and share the sell local pamphlets.

Thank you all and stay tuned as I will be scheduling another round of documentary screenings.
