Sometime ago there was a discussion about foodsheds on sanet. I'm
looking for any information on examples of institutional buying of
locally grown and processed food. The only solid project I'm aware
of is the Hendrix Local Food Project, started by Hendrix College,
in Arkansas.

Are there any others of its kind? Are any of you associated with
similar ventures? I'd appreciate any information you can give me.

Thank you
Radhika
