In about a month, we will celebrate Earth Day (April 22). This year The Nature Conservancy is celebrating Earth Day by highlighting the food we eat. Groups are being organized all around the world for a global Picnic for the Planet.
I am working on getting a picnic event right here in Lansing, MI. It will be at the Lansing City Market on April 22nd from 11:30 to 1:30. More details on the event will come shortly! Check out the meetup group here: http://meetu.ps/MDy6
In the meantime, mark your calendars for April 22, eat locally, support restaurants that use local or sustainable foods...and go have a picnic!
I will be highlighting foods and recipes native to Michigan here on this blog, so if you have any good suggestions for me please share!
