What to bring when you’re traveling and may not have access to good, healthy food? I’ve got a Walking Tamale from Fillo’s Foods and a Fresh Snack Bar from @fieldandfarmer. Delicious and good for you! A perfect meal on the run. #goodfood #localfood #plantbased #vegetarian #vegan

At the Chicago @FoodTank Summit, listening to US Rep Jan Schakowsky. “We need to be fierce about what we demand … Hunger in the richest country is intolerable.” #foodtank #goodfood #localfood #FoodSystems #chicago

Happy Earth Day 2022! What’s more sustainable than growing some food yourself. We are planting gardens this week in anticipation of harvests in a few months. #EarthDay #goodfood #localfood #sustainable #growyourown #ediblegardening

Want to be inspired by a #goodfood urban project? Check out @GreenERAChicago that is turning a brownfield into a campus with an #urbanfarm and anaerobic digester, providing jobs and #localfood to the Auburn Gresham neighborhood in #Chicago.

We continue to be fans of @Rumi_Spice with its mission of supporting women and farmers in #Afghanistan with good jobs by creating a market for their high-quality spices. #cultivatingpeace #goodfood #impactinvesting #InternationalWomenDay

Excellent book about some overlooked women who had an enormous influence on #cuisine in America. Why do some chefs and authors become well known? Thx @senatormayukh for this insightful book.

Sometimes it's easier to start over than to completely rearrange your product lines and supply chains. That's why so many food #startups so popular with investors. #goodfood #localfood #Sustainability #impactinvesting #vegan #vegetarian #foodsupplychain

Easy to create a quick, satisfying, delicious meal. Only if you have leftovers AND @AmericasMade lentils. Thank you, Fillo’s! #Goodfood #localfood #Vegan #plantbased #quickmeals #sustainable #MeatFreeMonday

Lots of innovation in grocery in Chicago. Our members have long supported Village Farmstand, @LocalFoodsChi & @OPCo_op, all bringing local food to consumers and shortening supply chains.
