  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Meet My Local Farmers
    When you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? Do you think this might enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?

    When I know the farmers who are producing my milk and how much they care for their craft/livelihood, I'm far more likely to purchase dairy products when I may have been on the fence about needing that product.  Or perhaps I choose to take something with dairy in it to a pot luck function so I can support the dairy industry.

    What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?

    I bought a bag of apples from a local farmer - which contributes to a sustainable way of life and healthy choices for myself

    Canning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?
