With great pleasure, on Tuesday the 9th of February, 2010, 6 of the 9 remaining members of Eat Local One Year 2009 received from the Ventura County Board of Supervisors a Resolution and Certificates of Commendation. In part, the Resolution read;  “WHEREAS, nine individuals completed and entire year of local eating following the guidelines of Eat Local One Year, mapped the current frontier of eating locally in Ventura County, and inspired others to expand their own utilization of local food;”.

During the presentation of the Resolution and Certificates at the Ventura County Government Center, Supervisors Bennett, Parks and Long each stated that they would sign up to participate in Locavore Lite 2010. It is now confirmed that the CEO of Ventura County, Marty Robinson has also committed to participate.

The local-food movement is growing. Please consider who you would like to invite to join us.
