Support Your Local Farmers!

I hope that you're supporting our local farmers. I hope that you're concerned about the food that you put in your marvelous body, and that you might even be consuming some home-grown fruits and veggies of your own.

Why? Why do I hope this for you? Because I want you to be healthy and strong, and I want our children to grow up knowing how important good food is and learning the satisfaction that comes from gardening and consuming their own foods. We're experiencing this right now, with my father's garden.

This week we've been enjoying his squash and cucumbers and to say that they taste so much better than any others we've had is a tremendous understatement. It got me thinking about all of the produce I've bought in grocery stores when I should have sought out local farmers. So I did a little research, and I came across this article about why local food is so important and this wonderful site that locates local farmers in the U.S.

So do a little research of your own. Support your local farmers, eat better and pass on the tradition! Your children and grand children will thank you.

In health,
Amanda
