(formerly Loudoun Gardener's Exchange)

**Be VOCAL, think, eat, and buy LOCAL.**

Loudoun county, Virginia has an abundance of local food and resources, and this group is here to help inform, educate, and promote these sources. The term LOCAVORE refers to people that attempt to eat food grown or produced locally. The locavore movement encourages consumers to buy from farmers’ markets or even to produce their own food, with the argument that fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better.

The goal of this network is to share information on:
* local food souces
* growing your own food
* vendors that support local producers
* restaurants that utilize local produce
* local opportunities for supporting 'green' activities
* any other locavore questions you may have

This group is for anyone and everyone that wants to get more local foods into their diet and for those that want to invest in their communities.

Happy living!
