Local Rocks
El Paso is certainly not the only place in the country where the movement to support locally owned, independent businesses is growing. Groups similar to Homegrown El Paso have been formed all over the U.S. in recent years.
Many of these groups, including Homegrown El Paso, are members of the American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA). AMIBA has over 35 member organizations all over the country from California to Maine. In 2007, the alliance hosted its first-ever annual gathering of local alliance members in Austin. Two Homegrown El Paso board members, Don Baumgardt and Ted Escobedo, paid their own travel expenses to attend the event and share ideas with peers from coast to coast.
A strong national entity provides Homegrown with resources outside the area and gives the movement visibility on a larger geographic scale. You can learn more about AMIBA at its web site, amiba.net
