Take the Localvore Pledge

MAD RIVER VALLEY

Localvore Project

Celebrating and supporting local food in the Mad River Valley - those who eat it and those who grow it - through education, community connections, and collective wisdom.

Don't give me 10% more in quantity, give me 10% more in quality.

¹Totally local means food grown, raised, and produced within 100 miles of the Mad River Valley. However, you are allowed to use the Marco Polo Rules as well as wild cards for these Totally Local meals.

Marco Polo Rules (please select one)*:

I am a purest, I plan to eat 100% local.

I plan to use only salt that is not local, but nothing else.

I plan to use the Marco Polo Rules (salt and dried spices that sailors could carry in their pocket for 6 months at sea including baking soda, baking powder, and yeast).

Wild Cards (How many and what)*? Please note that you don't have to stick with these and if you don't know at this point, leave blank. We just thought that others might be interested in what people think that they will use for their wild cards. :

I am a purest, I do not plan on using any wild cards.

I plan to use Wild Cards

If you don't know your wild cards at this time, but you have an idea of what they will be, please add them below. This is just so that other Localvores can get a better idea of the types of wild cards people are using.
