“Buyer Be-Aware” Workshop being held to help you eat happy!

Growing Alternatives hosts a workshop to help you discover your alternative eating options.

Growing Alternatives, a local non-profit supporting healthy food systems, is hosting a workshop to equip you with the knowledge to eat happy. Have you ever wanted to know what is really behind the label on your chocolate bar? Have you ever pondered what eating options are better for you and your environment? Have you ever come out of the grocery store frustrated by claims that you don’t fully understand?

During the workshop we will answer these questions, explore your alternative eating options such as Fair Trade, Organic, Local and Urban Foraging, and empower consumers to make educated decisions about your food.

The workshop will be held on June 28th from 2-4pm, in the Library at Dublin Street United Church. Anyone is welcome! To maintain accessibility, it is a pay-what-you-can event (suggested donation of 10$).
