Terra Madre 2010 takes place October 21-25 in Turin, Italy, and five extraordinary people from the Triangle have been accepted as delegates:

• Sarah Blacklin, Carrboro & Southern Village Farmers' Markets
• Anna Child, Core Sound Seafood and the Gillings Sustainable Agriculture Project
• Alex & Betsy Hitt, Peregrine Farm*
• Sabrina Lopez, Carrboro & Southern Village Farmers' Markets

Although Terra Madre covers all expenses during the conference, delegates must cover their own transportation costs to and from Italy. To help make this once-of-a-lifetime experience possible for our local delegates, we are organizing a series of fundraiser events to assist with their travel expenses, which could total more than $3,000.  *Please note that the Hitts are not accepting donations toward Terra Madre travel expenses.
