Jumping Joyous Urban Jumble: Judy Wicks and Building a Local Living Economy

Jumping Joyous Urban Jumble: Judy Wicks and Building a Local Living Economy

Jul 18 2006

Judy Wicks, owner of the White Dog Café in Philadelphia, shares the origins of her incredible business success. Judy has created a vibrant restaurant business committed to organic-only food, fair trade in all products, humanely-raised animals, living wages for her employees, and a host of other leading-edge practices.

While promoting local business, she has helped found the Sustainable Business Network (SBN), the White Dog Foundation (20% of all Café profits go here!), the Fair Foods project, and the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE). Judy speaks at the BALLE national conference on June 9, 2006. See SBN Philadelphia, BALLE - Business Alliance for Local Living Economies, White Dog Café and White Dog Foundation
