About This Campaign

The Eat Local for Thanksgiving campaign was created to shine a public spotlight on the connections that buying local has to the environment, use of fossil fuels and energy, supporting our local community, and helping to keep our local farmers farming. Thanksgiving, with its rich cultural meaning and food traditions, is a perfect time to add another dimension to how we think about food when we are already making thoughtful food purchases.

The campaign was conceived and initiated by the Acting Food Policy Council, King County, the Cascade Harvest Coalition and Good Food Strategies and has been made possible through the generous support of Department of Neighborhoods — Climate Protection Fund and King County's Agriculture Programs.

Additional coordinating partners include: Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance, Farming and the Environment, Seattle Tilth, Jubilee Farm, and the Pike Market Senior Center.
