New Video – Harvest Moon Local Food Initiative
Posted in Local Food, Videos on 15. Mar, 2009
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8uv5eSince our first meeting in October 2006, we have been working closely with the farmers and supporting partners of the Harvest Moon Society Local Food Initiative to develop a collective marketing group to bring locally produced food to the homes of Manitobans. It has been an intense, challenging and highly rewarding two and half years and we have accomplished a great deal. We began moving food from farm to fork in late 2008 and are tweaking and re-ordering our distribution, communication and transportation systems to meet both the needs of the farmers and eaters involved in this initiative. The launch of a website provides an important tool for communicating with the participants in this small scale food network. You can check it out at www.harvestmoonfood.ca. This summer should be an exciting one
for the Local Food Initiative and a true test of this initiative. This experiment represents a unique challenge to the conventional food system that provides a direct connection between the farmer and eater, a fresh and fair food product and an opportunity to be a part of a growing movement that celebrates relationships, food, farmers and community.
I have put together a short video about the Harvest Moon Society Local Food Initiative… Take a look and I would love to hear your thoughts about the Food Initiative and/or the video. Please leave your comments below.
