Can I still take the pledge even if I don't live in Connecticut? Yes, you can still take the Connecticut Eats Local pledge even if you don't live in Connecticut. However, you will be pledging to eat locally for your own state, whatever state that may be. Also, you can start your own Eats Local site. Please contact us for details and support at CTeatslocal@gmail.com.
Can I start an Eats Local site for my own state? Yes, you can start an Eats Local site for your own state if one does not already exist. Please contact CTeatslocal@gmail.com for information and support.
Can't I be eating food grown in a nearby state and still be eating "locally"? We believe the answer to this question is "yes." We do not believe that our food communities stop at our state borders but that they often extend beyond state borders or fade out within state borders depending on where we live and how we each define our own food communities.
How can I get involved with CTeatslocal beyond simply taking the pledge and posting my comments? There are many volunteer opportunities with CT Eats Local, and we are always open to suggestions based on your individual skills and experience. Please contact us at CTeatslocal@gmail.com and write "Volunteer" in the subject line. Please tell us your name, how you might like to be involved, and how we can contact you.
How can I share information to the Connecticut Eats Local site? You can easily contribute information by clicking on the "Share" tabs at the top of our homepage. Additionally, if you have events, photographs, or other information you would like to share with us so that we can post about it, please email us at CTeatslocal@gmail.com.
How can I get a link to my site on the CTeatslocal site? If you have a blog or a site that you believe our community would benefit from and would like us to link to directly from our homepage, please email CTeatslocal@gmail.com and write "Please Link to Me" in the subject line. Please let us know who you are, why you believe your site would be a good addition to our community, and how we can best contact you. We will check out your site and let you know if we link to it!
