Connect with Local Food Producers
This weekend is one of my favorite events of the year; the Local Food and Farmer Open House at Milwaukee's Urban Ecology Center.
You can stop by the UEC from 11am-4pm to meet CSA farmers, attend workshops, find a local source for meat or milk or eggs, and visit with other community members as interested in sustainable food as you....
Find all the details, and a list of local CSA farms here.

Adopt Your Own Milwaukee Apple
Milwaukee Apple—Fall of 2011 Maple Valley Orchard |
Join Slow Food WiSE and the handful of orchardists, chefs, and food activists who are bringing antique apples back to our tables by "adopting" your own Milwaukee Apple for your backyard or community space.
Because the Milwaukee Apple is just one of hundreds of thousands of endangered or extinct apples that have disappeared from our plates, and we are promoting place based biodiversity, we are also adopting additional rare varietals with roots in Wisconsin--the Pewaukee, Oneida, Bonnie Best, and Wolf River.
