Eat Local! Expo and other weekend possibilities

Do you want to eat local but you aren’t exactly sure what is local? Find out at the Eat Local! Expo 2011.

The Kansas City Food Circle’s 13th annual exhibition of farmers is set for

Saturday at the Roger T. Sermon Community Center (Truman and Noland roads, in Independence) from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On the following Saturday, the expo shifts to the Shawnee Civic Center (13817 Johnson Drive) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Admission is free. Local

producers will be on hand to sell produce, meat, dairy and eggs. You

also can purchase community-supported agriculture subscriptions or

seedlings for a home garden. Throughout the day, there will be

presentations on where to find local produce and how to store and cook it.
