CGCC food fair encourages eating local
Students and community members have the opportunity to sample locally grown
produce and herbs as well as cheese, jams, preserves and salsa produced in the area when
Chandler-Gilbert Community College hosts the Think Globally, Eat Locally: Local Food
Fair from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tue., Oct. 20.
This farmers-market style event, held on the college’s Pecos campus outside the
college’s Student Center Pavilion, features local growers and food providers who offer food
for sale and discuss the benefi ts of supporting local food production.
Participants include Dr. Humus; Dust: Seasonings and Rubs; Rainbow Valley Nursery,
who offers their farmers cheeses and cheese spreads; Cotton Country Jams, who sells and
offers samples of their locally-produced jams, preserves, and salsas; and KB Farms, who
sells fresh local produce.
CGCC economics faculty and event organizer Nancy Short says she hopes the event
creates an awareness of the importance of supporting local food growers.
“Producing food is a vital part of every society. The Think Globally, Eat Locally:
Local Food Fair is both consistent with CGCC’s focus on sustainability and raises our
community’s awareness and support of the production of food,” Short says. “I hope both
students and community members take away an appreciation of how challenging it is for
farmers and other small producers to continue, as development and land use changes
make it more and more diffi cult. I also hope we can create an expanded understanding of
the role that Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), can play in helping us keep local
