The summer’s abundance of food brings to mind a conversation I had recently with my 93-year old mother about the Buy Local movement in Vermont. She reminded me that the idea of “buying local” wasn’t anything new, in the past, it was just the way of life.
People across the country are re-discovering that local food lifestyle. This perspective is particularly strong in Vermont. And the abundant summer time is the best season to expand the local foods appearing on our dinner plates.
This portion of the Agency of Agriculture website provides a variety of tools for eating more local products, from producers lists to recipes to resources for community groups who want to support local buying. I hope you find this information useful. Please check back frequently; new sections are still being developed.
