Have you heard? The 2013 Dig In Challenge is coming up right around the corner! It launches on February 1st and goes until the end of June.

Five months of eating healthy, local, sustainable, and fair food? Yes please. The Dig In Challenge also offers FREE food skill workshops! There will be workshops in Winnipeg, Strathclair, Brandon, Grand Rapids, and possibly more TBA. Workshops will also be available online if you can’t make it out to them yourself! I have it on good authority (*cough* being the Dig In Coordinator *cough*) that there are still lots of spaces open at the workshops, so definitely sign up for some! The first few will involve getting free fair trade chocolate – YUM. Sign up for workshops at www.diginmanitoba.ca/challenge/workshop (after you’ve signed up for the Dig In Challenge, of course).

The Dig In Challenge is free to sign up and is open for families, individuals, schools, faith groups, workplaces, and other community groups to join. This year is especially exciting because everyone can make their own customizable pledge – a great opportunity to challenge yourself to start gardening, try composting, learn how to preserve food, pick fruit with Fruit Share, and so much more.
