Past Local Food Radicalism

Here is a link for all the liability stuff I dug up from last semester:

What we can do NOW:
OG Resolution to get local food
Food committee action to get the money needed for the pricier local food
Organic farm tours
Potlucks with local farmers and McClurg workers to get to know them
Find farms that want to sell to ARAMARK. We might have to go beyond the 20 miles that we have been focusing on. These can include:
Kyle and Jake at Jump-off Community Farm - kylelarsen13@gmail.com
Fey Raine and Wolf Barjkana at Black Mountain Farm- feyraine@yahoo.com
Cheese from the Keeners once the dairy is going
Williams Island

Who knows? Maybe a co-op would work if you get the farms to agree to participate in such a thing and get one of the farmers to head it (a student could lead it, but there is problem with graduation and losing interest). So here is the information that has been researched in the past for co-ops at Sewanee. Callie Flowers has some more info she sent me and I can't figure out how to get it on here, so let me know if you want it.
