How about produce sales at Palm Springs Street Fair, Indio Swap Meet, and College Of the Desert Street Fair?
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea! I would love to see a list of the local farmers and CSA's in the area added to your map. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteLove the push pin map. The data helps me in my work.
ReplyDeleteI would just suggest to add information about your County Champions trainings that you are also doing in the Desert area. The Re-eduaction towards Child and Adult Obesity is Very Important! What are we doing Towards making a change?
ReplyDeleteHow many know what is the required amount of Servings of Fruits and Vegetables that we need on a Daily? Were should we go to learn about this information?
ReplyDeleteWe have completed the training of 16 County Champions in the Coachella Valley to date. The trainings took place in February at Thousand Palms Child Care Center. The next scheduled training is in La Quinta with the Desert YMCA. This will be held on March 23 and March 30, Tuesdays, from 12:30 to 2:30pm. We are working to schedule County Champions Train the Trainer programs county wide. Preventing obesity is vital as is the access to healthy local produce. As the phrase goes, we are what we eat, hence we promote gardening and local farmers markets as just one piece of the solution to the problem of obesity.
ReplyDeleteTo know how many fruits and vegetables you should eat daily, use the USDA food guide pyramid at www.mypyramid.gov. From the home page, go to "My pyramid plan", enter your personal data for age, height, weight, etc. It will tell you how many servings you should consume personally. It is a really great website to explore. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great site. I hope you are able to keep this going. Our community needs this information on where to buy or grow fruits and vegetables.
