Our county does something similar every year, it's called Farm to Fork.  I can't *wait* to go!

?Farm-to-Fork Loudoun ? will take place from Thursday, July 21 to Monday, July 31, 2011 with 21 restaurants and food related entities committed to using at least 70% local product and ingredients during that timeframe. It is a new concept to this area, conceived by Loudoun County marketing entrepreneur Miriam Nasuti who saw the need for a county-wide collaborative celebration between agricultural growers, vintners and chefs in Loudoun County.

?Farm-to-Fork? will allow the public to experience Loudoun?s diverse culinary community and enjoy its healthy, locally grown and raised foods they otherwise may not have,? Nasuti added. ?And the program allows our restaurants to serve fresh, locally grown food through the new and existing menu items they?ll offer. It?s a win-win for everyone.?

This sounds amazing, I would love to hear a professional speak on this.. I'm just an amateur who spent some time reading the "where is this from" on my package labels :P Lucky you!!

Very cool idea!  It's a pretty major shift you can see when people start thinking about where their food comes from (biologically, geographically, ethically and economically).  This is a totally positive, non-confrontational way to get people thinking about it.
