For the health of Napa: locally grown food

Editorial by Napa Local Food Advisory Council Chair Karen Schuppert

“Perhaps you’ve noticed? The local food movement is blazing trails as one of the hottest topics on the culinary map. And that is especially apparent in Napa Valley, the agricultural paradise which we are so fortunate to call home.

Our Local Food Advisory Council has identified three areas of priority need for Napa County. We are now actively recruiting volunteers to serve on the following sub-committees: Education and Outreach Committee: Help design communications networks to encourage public involvement and information sharing, such as advocacy programs, printed materials, events, website, social media, etc.; Local Food Production and Distribution Committee: Help develop mutually beneficial food supply systems linking local farmers to community kitchens, markets and residents; Food Policy Committee: Help influence and communicate county rules, regulations and fees for growing, selling and/or donating food products by both home and commercial producers.

If these pique your interest, convert your ideas to action by volunteering on one of these sub-committees.”
