Declare Your Food Independence

Hey, El Paso! Join the local food movement and declare your food independence this July 4th. Here's the scoop:

This July 4th: Help us put local, sustainable foods on the map . . . and on our elected officials' plates!

Sign our petition at FoodIndependenceDay.org or on Facebook.

Contact your state’s first family and ask them to plan a locally-sourced holiday meal and to share their July 4th menu with us (they can e-mail it to me:roger@kitchengardeners.org.

Inspire them and others by sharing your local food plans for the July 4th meal via our interactive map. (Click the word “add” on the map. You can include your name, your location, and what you plan to serve July 4th).

If you’re a kid and growing some local food of your own, share your story with others through the “Why I’m a Victory Grower” video contest.

Help us spread the word by grabbing a button (sm/lg) or flash widget for your website, blog, social network, or newsletter.

Thanks for joining the over 3000 people who have already declared their
food independence,
