At Eat Local Food, we’re proud to be working with the Michigan Nutrition Network on the Choices Conference for the 5th consecutive year. Eat Local Food’s “Shake the Hand that Feeds You” was selected by the organization as the image to represent this year’s conference. Attendees will receive, among other materials, an Eat Local Food conference tote featuring this striking image of a local farmer.
