We are launching our annual campaign this summer to help people do just that. From Sunday, Sept. 4th through Saturday, Sept. 10th, consumers can explore the benefits (and fun) of eating the region’s best locally sourced foods through Eat Local, America!, an initiative led by co-op grocers nationwide. Visit and “like” our Moscow Food Co-op Eat Local Challenge page on Facebook to sign up for the challenge, learn how to share your own eating local experiences, get ideas and recipes, and win great prizes from the Co-op.

 Idaho farmwife, Gayle Anderson uses her cuisine talent to teach non-farmers about agriculture. Last year, Anderson began the “Dinner on the Farm” series where she and wheat farmer/husband Joe Anderson hosted a small group of “city folk” for dinner. The event allows non-farmers a chance to learn about where their food comes from. There is no charge to attend these dinners and it is by invitation only. The dates for this year’s dinner events are September 10th and 17th. Joe and Gayle farm with his brother, Jay Anderson, and his wife, Lisa. Together the family partnership farms a total of 4,150 acres in Genesee, Idaho. They grow winter wheat, spring wheat and garbanzos beans as their main crops and occasionally raise barley, mustard or lentils. |
