Community Food Forum

Last Saturday I attended a Community Discussion sponsored by the Beartooth Front Community Forum entitled "Improving Community Well Being Through Food".

For a town of only 2,000 people there was an impressive turn out of almost 200 folks! That's better than some elections!

They started the meeting off with a Priority Exercise using sticky dots! (A favorite of planners).



The meeting organizers did a great job of selecting panel speakers and appropriate topics.

After the speakers we had a fabulous lunch made with local food prepared by various restaurants, ranches, and farms.



Overall, it was a great event focused on the value of local food in creating a sustainable community.
