Co-op Calendar 

The North Coast Growers’ Association farmers’ markets, in partnership with the North Coast Co-op, challenge you to up your game in eating delicious, fresh, Humboldt-grown food in the month of September (Humboldt Local Food Month) for the annual Eat Local Challenge. Whether you regularly eat local foods or you are interested in learning more about how to find and cook fresh and local new-to-you ingredients, this “Challenge” is for you! This free and fun Eat Local Challenge invites you to take your interest or passion for eating local even further by choosing a “challenge” level that goes beyond your daily choices and above all makes you think about where your food comes from.

To take part in the free “Challenge”, simply visit your local farmers’ market info booth in Arcata, Eureka, and McKinleyville or a North Coast Co-op customer service desk and choose your “Challenge” level on your pledge card. At all farmers’ markets and on select dates at the Co-op, you will be given an opportunity to spin the prize wheel to win a free mug or t-shirt. We recommend placing your pledge card on your fridge or office bulletin board to remind yourself of your goals and share your experience with your family and friends.

The Eat Local Challenge can also be a fun way to jump into all the activities planned for the 10th anniversary of Humboldt’s Local Food Month, a county-wide series of events with a focus on local foods. While you are eating Humboldt-grown food, why not take the opportunity to visit local farms, go to food tastings, and attend workshops and film screenings along with some of the many other events that Local Food Month has to offer?! More information on Local Food month can be found at localfoodmonth.org.
