It’s exciting to see the local food movement gaining strength and numbers in Minneapolis. Last night, at the Riverview Theater, a screening of the new film Food Fight! brought together a full house and updated me on what’s happening with food culture around town. The most exciting news is that Erika Allen of Growing Power, Inc. — an amazing urban food growing enterprise started by her father in Milwaukee– will be speaking at next week’s Women’s Environmental Institute Mother Earth Banquet and Auction at St. Kate’s. I can’t go, but I’m going to donate a silent auction item.

Other interesting bits:

Homegrown Minneapolis is a new initiative  out of the Mayor’s office. Heavy Table has written about it here. It’s a little confusing, to say the least, but also exciting.

Gardening Matters is dedicated to supporting, connecting and promoting community gardens and gardeners in the Twin Cities. Great website which includes a directory of area gardens.

I’m excited to join the ranks of local designers at i like you in NE MPLS. Check out the in-store swing and faux grass floor. Enjoy perusing the largest selection of Rectangle stuff east of the Mississippi. I dropped off the new boatneck blouse (right) and deep v-neck tops in lots of colors today.

Owners Sarah Sweet and Angela Lessman bring a playful vibe to the growing NE shopping and dining district. They plan to offer craft classes in their spacious back-of-store studio starting this fall, so stay tuned for updates!
