Locavorians: Visit The Getty tomorrow. Why? The Café and The Restaurant at The Getty will be serving lunches that are 100% locally sourced from within 150 miles of LA County, excepting salt.

Those eco-conscious menu comes thanks to food service company Bon Appetit Management’s fourth annual Eat Local Challenge. In addition to The Getty, many LA-area universities, colleges, and corporate dining facilities — including Concordia University, Mount St. Mary’s College, Cal Arts and the University of Redlands — will serve at least one clearly stated eat local challenge meal.

Bon Appetit’s Farm to Fork program already has its restaurants sourcing a minimum of 20% of its foods from within 150 miles every day. But for Sept. 30, the 400 locations Bon Appetit serves in 28 states will be going (or foregoing?) the extra mile for the challenge.

Amazingly, the locally-sourced menu prices will be comparable to the usual fare. Plus, the source of every single item and its distance from the café will be listed on the menu. Check out what will be served below (note that the Terrace Cafe will not be participating in the challenge) then head over for a real locavorian meal tomorrow.
