A Toute Heure and the Locavore Movement
Monday, July 26th at 7:30 PM at the Cranford Community Center, 220 Walnut Ave
Andrea Carbine, co-owner of Cranford's acclaimed A Toute Heure bistro, will talk about the "locavore" movement. According to About.com, a locavore is "someone who exclusively (or, at least, primarily) eats food from their local or regional food shed or within a determined radius from their home. By eating locally, locavores hope to create a greater connection between themselves and their food sources, resist industrialized and processed foods, and support their local economy." Ms. Carbine will talk about how her bistro adheres to locavore principals on a day-to- day basis. Sponsored by the Cranford Public Library.

From families looking for a Sunday outing to those seeking an interstate adventure, the trail is intended to offer a safe way to bike along the Eastern Seaboard, just as the Appalachian Trail provides a path to hike the region.
