***********************************************
Well it looks like we're on our way to having a Boise pickup location for Idaho's Bounty! Details to come, but look for a first delivery date near the end of July.

Meanwhile, for those interested in promoting the local food web, there's an opportunity for you to participate by helping with a "Pick Pack and Sort" party for a Boise delivery. Delivery location is likely to be at a warehouse near St. Al's. Delivery day and time is probably about 6pm on Wednesdays.

For those interested in participating, there's an opportunity for you to get trained and see how the Ketchum operation happens, and meet the great folks who are behind the scenes of this important enterprise. We are looking for some folks to come along on Wednesday July 16th up to Ketchum to learn the process and bring the goodness down to Boise. Ketchum operations run from 12-4. Some compensation may be provided. And ride sharing to Ketchum is being arranged. In case you are interested, you can send me an email: anneliese at greeningupdotnet or just click on my username here on BSLC and click the contact tab to send me a message.

Idaho's Bounty has played a pivotal role in connecting local food with local people and we're thrilled they have decided to open up to the Treasure Valley community. Come help lay the groundwork for this important network and meet some inspired souls working for change!
