My doc is on local food producers, purveyors and purchasers with the intent to highlight the people who are doing great work right now but also brainstorm creative ways to get people involved who are intrigued but don't tend to sway local quite yet. Seems like Local Sprouts is perfectly aligned. Would you be interested in doing an interview?
Thanks much,
