Local Choices of California's Central Valley

Supporting a Sustainable Community

Welcome to the Local Choices Community

We created this site to connect people in the Central Valley who are interested in a sustainable lifestyle.

Through open discussion of ideas, sharing of information and supporting local businesses and small farms that are using good practices, we can build a thriving community right here in our own backyard.

See what are members are doing & imagine what we can do together!

Learn to BBQ Green 2 Replies

Ditch the fossil fuel burning gas or electric grill, and choose all natural lump charcoal or pellet varieties. There are better choices.
