About us

My photo
Hundred Mile Huronia is a year-long project promoting local food in Huronia. It is based on the concept of the 100-mile diet - we are promoting eating food grown and raised from within a 100-mile radius of Huronia. We are building community through food, by connecting eaters to growers, and by making local food available and accessible to everyone.
