Important movie + local beer = $12.50
On Thursday, June 25 we (that’s us and any of you who’d like to join) are going to have a beer or two at Cambridge Brewing Co. Then we’re going to head, en masse, across the street to Kendall Sq Cinema to watch the new and excellent film Food, Inc.
We’ve worked out a deal with the theater and the restaurant so that movie + beer go for $12.50 (regularly about $14). Plus you get to meet some friendly area localvores and discuss — and, frankly, help us raise about 20 bucks to cover our web hosting fees.
Hello good eaters,
If you are here, you probably already know that the reality of most Grocery Store Food is a tragedy and a horror show, wrapped up in shiny plastic and primary colors. You may also know that it is often poisonous to the environment and our bodies, and that it should be avoided whenever possible.
We welcome you, so-called Boston localvores! And we are happy to provide some basic info about how you can find food produced in the region, on a small scale, outside the big chain stores and sometimes even within them.
But perhaps the reality of Big Food is news to you and a either a preachy third party has directed you here or you've come of your own volition to be dazzled. We welcome you too and invite you to first read our FAQs to learn what it means to eat local foods and why it's worth doing.
It is easier and more affordable to be a localvore in Boston than you-know-who would have us think. To prove this, we have compiled info (see pretty pictures
to the left) on the following:
- where to find milk, cheese (+ other dairy products) and eggs
- where to find sustainable, mostly grass-fed meat
- locations for farmer's markets
- how to join a csa - aka buy an annual share in a farm
Our records are by no means complete and if you are a grower/merchant and we've left you out, please contact us, info [at] bostonlocalvores.org.
In solidarity
KC + DM
