The Market is Open

As I was looking for inspiration to write this weblog today I ran across this article by Sustainable Kentucky that talks about how to start/support your local food economy.
Here is the first thing this article suggests doing.

(1) Start with yourself. Seek out local farms and buy from them—year round, every week, rain or shine, higher prices or not. When you attend events, ask for local foods. When you go to locally-owned restaurants, ask for local food. When your group hires a caterer, demand that they buy from local farms and be prepared to pay the extra cost. Go to the nearest farmers market no matter the weather. Be a local food evangelist to your friends without being too preachy. (Win them with flavor!) Take local food to potlucks and family reunions. Give the gift of local food to your friends around the holidays. Join a CSA. Grow your own, buy from a local farm, or don’t eat it!

We are starting our very own local foods movement right here in Caldwell county and I thank you for your support. You are doing step one each and every week for your local farmers and I cannot say thank you enough!
Here is to our very own homegrown foods movement! So exciting!
See you Friday,
Angela
