The "eat here now" food panel was an overwhelming success last week with nearly 200 people cramming into a little room at the Mercury Cafe. It was great to see so many people interested in strengthening our local food system! Thanks to everyone on the panel and Transition Denver for organizing this event. We made some great connections and will be setting up a number of home visits once Nick returns from a much needed vacation.
We have also had a number of individuals and organizations come forward who are interested in working with us including beekeepers, a city council member, a fundraiser, a number of non-profits, and two interns. These connections will undoubtedly help us realize our vision and we are very thankful to those willing to collaborate on projects with us. We are in the process of assembling an advisory board to further anchor us in work being done around Denver.
Our website (www.producedenver.com) is finely up and it would be wonderful to get feedback from anyone who feels so inclined. A large number of people are already finding us so it seems to be serving its purpose thus far. Hopefully we can get some better pictures as things move along this year!
