Join the Inland Northwest Buy Fresh, Buy Local Campaign!
Greenhouse plants and baby lambs aren’t the only things growing this spring! The national Buy Fresh Buy Local campaign has also grown to include 40 regions nationwide. The Buy Fresh Buy Local Inland Northwest chapter of the national movement, organized by Rural Roots, is also growing in local partners. A local partner is a farm, ranch, business, restaurant or retail outlet that uses the Buy Fresh Buy Local materials to spread the word about how important local food systems are! You could be part of this movement! Take a look at a sample of the nation’s Buy Fresh Buy Local labels showcased in this article. Connect with the fact that you are already a part of this exciting movement towards sustainability, as a producer and a consumer, just by being aware of the need for local food. Ask yourself how you can communicate your passion and awareness to others: to your customers, your shoppers, your fellow eaters. Buy Fresh, Buy Local materials can be the answer to that question. Bumper stickers give other drivers something to think about as they wait behind you at the light. Bookmarks and recipe cards can be handed out at farmers’ markets. Product tags can help identify, not only the produce, but information about the product and the message that you care about your local food system. Shelf tags and stickers help restaurants, retail outlets, and farmers and ranchers educate consumers about which foods are local and fresh. In addition, these small, but recognizable shelf tags can help customers who are looking for local food, better appreciate the efforts that your business makes to support your local food system. Rural Roots can also work with you to design personalized products such as signs and calendars to help explain to people why buying local products is so important. The possibilities are huge! Whatever way you choose to show your support for the local food movement, check out the samples of BFBL marketing materials enclosed in this packet. Rural Roots sells these materials and others included in the marketing brochure enclosed to our partners at the cost of printing only. If you are interested in using the Buy Fresh Buy Local marketing materials, please check out our website, www.ruralroots.org, to find an order form and partner agreements. Give Rural Roots a call at 208-883-3462 or send Sara Foster an email at sara@ruralroots.org if you have any questions or to sign up to be a Buy Fresh Buy Local partner. Together we can educate, engage, and commit people to supporting their local food systems!
