Do We Need a New Name?

Profile Image for Elaine Sebald Elaine Sebald

In our last meeting, a few members felt our current name--Central Illinois Local Food Innovation Center--could be improved.  They felt it was a bit intimidating, and it doesn't do a good job of telling people what we're about. 

Do you have ideas for a snappier name?  One that will be more meaningful to people and get their attention--providing a strong brand as we work to raise awareness?  Post your ideas and suggestions here!

Here are a few to play around with:

Central Illinois Local Food Enterprises

Central IL Local Food Enterprise Center

Central IL Local Food Collaborative Center

Grow Local: Central Illinois Farmer-Consumer Cooperative

How about coming up with a name for our GROUP--and putting off a name for whatever facilities we develop until we get closer?  Here are some ideas for a group or project name.  (I must admit I'm partial to the first one.)

  • Central Illinois Edible Economy Project
  • Central Illinois Homegrown Economy Initiative
  • Central Illinois Local Food Economy Venture
  • Growing Our Own--Central Illinois Local Food Alliance
  • Central Illinois Food System Revitalization Collaborative

I like Central IL Edible Economy Project or Growing Our Own (and the acronym -- GOO).

Granted, acronyms shouldn't drive us, but we could be the Central IL Edible Action Team (Central IL EAT!)
