BOZEMAN- The Bozeman Locavore Challenge is kicking off again for the month of August.
It is a 31-day challenge to eat 80 percent or more of your food produced from within 100 miles of the Gallatin Valley. Owner of True Spirit Crossfit and Yoga Leslie Allen created the challenge because clients were frustrated with diets that told them what they could NOT eat.
Many members of the gym participate, but the challenge is open to the public.
“So many farmers that work so hard and food producers, and brewers and coffee roasters and they are competing against these huge corporate organizations, huge industrial agriculture,” Allen said. “They’re just working so hard to provide us, in this valley, with really high-quality products. I think it’s the right thing to do.”
To join the challenge you can visit their Facebook page. Allen added there are prizes associated with the challenge.
