2013 Eat Local Month Has Begun

Lowcountry Local First (LLF) has once again dubbed April “Dig In: Eat Local Month.” Much like like a year ago, the organization has lined up a series of events to celebrate. So get out there and SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!

By the way – the funds raised from Eat Local Month go directly toward LLF’s work in Sustainable Agriculture.

Here are this year’s events:

4/1/13 – 4/30/13: Eat Local Challenge – Various

When you sign up for the challenge, you get to choose your Eat Local goal(s) for the month of April.

For tips on how to tackle this challenge, head on over to the Charleston City Paper’s guide.
