Can't make it to the market? Catch the video clips, recipes and how-to articles (what do I do with these beets?) in our EatGreen Girl's Recipe Box.
- "EATGREEN" Evenings - Join us for casual gatherings at local eateries to partake in the fabulousness of the foods from around the area. The schedule of events can be found on our Facebook Events Page.
- Eat Green Sustainable Celebration
Join a sustainable “GREEN FOOD” Dinner Party - a shared meal that focuses on local foods and farms. Just like a typical dinner party, there will be good friends, delectable cuisine and stimulating conversation, but with a focus on the plate in front of you and the issues that surround it. A sustainable dinner party presents an opportunity to discuss modern agriculture and enjoy some delicious seasonal food in the process.
There are many reasons; for starters, there's power in numbers. As a member, you will have opportunities to share with and support other like-minded individuals. You'll also receive special savings on courses, events, experiences and products. You will receive professional support and guidance based on your personal situation. You also have the option to receive access to the online Community Resource Center with health and wellness tools that will help guide you to where you want to go on your wellness adventure.
The EatGreen Evolution is a membership-based community that brings together folks that are either looking for ideas and solutions to our current industrialized food system as well as those that are struggling to find the proper nourishment through the foods they eat and could use some guidance and support. The Community offers accountability, education and empowerment through connection and experiences.
The EatGreen Community is here to guide you during your evolution - changing the way you look, feel and live through the way you cook, eat and play.
- Would you like to see how to make dinner time fun, healthy and SIMPLE with some practical kitchen know-how tips with a Kitchen Slim-Down Solutions Clinic?
- Or would you like to finally understand how to eat most effectively to ease your moody blues or how about hosting a fun "healthy hour" with your friends so that you all can avoid that winter waistline (you know, that extra little layer that "keeps you warm")?
- Experience new ideas and techniques to give you the know‐how for sustainable healthy living.
- Check out all the opportunities available for exploration here: Community Experiences & Events
We all may have the "know", but without the "how", it doesn't do much good! I am a true believer in experiential learning – we learn and grow best through doing and experiencing rather than being told what to do and not really knowing why or how to do it.
The EatGreen Evolution is based on Community-Supported Wellness (by the way, it's NOT just about what's on the plate). The EatGreen Evolution wants to make health and wellness accessible to all, offering dynamic group experiences and learning events in the form of group talks, workshops and gathering opportunities for individuals, groups and organizations interested in bringing balance and strength into their collective lives. The Community is open to anyone that would like to learn how to gain greater nourishment naturally - finding nourishment through the foods you eat, the places you play and the lives you live.
There are no accidents or victims.
Each person is responsible for his own evolution.
