About this Petition:

July 4th comes once a year, but every day can be Food Independence Day if you make efforts to source your meals locally and grown some of your own food. Please sign our pledge/petition below to express your support for kitchen gardens, local foods, farmers, and food producers in your area.

The Desired Outcome of this Petition:

All of our country's first families leading by example by sourcing their July 4th meals as locally, deliciously, and sustainably as possible and announcing their Independence Day menus in advance of the holiday as an inspiration to others.

To: the First Families of the Fifty States and US Territories

We petition that…

you lead and eat by example this July 4th by sourcing the ingredients of your Independence Day meal as locally as possible. Whet our appetites by publishing your planned menu in advance of the holiday. Share your recipes and the names of the local farmers, fisherman, and food producers whose ingredients you'll be using. Make it into a friendly competition with the other First Families to see who can serve the meal that inspires the most while traveling the least. As residents of your states and by our signatures below, we pledge to join you in this celebration of edible independence by eating healthy and delicious foods from our own local farms, gardens, and communities.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
