Local Food

One of the benefits of living in Vermont is our access to fresh local foods. My friend Irene recently shared an article with me that ranks Vermont at the top of the Local Food Index. According to the article the rank is based on the states "commitment to raising and eating locally grown food based on the number of farmers markets and community supported agriculture farms" (CSA). "Vermont has 99 farmers markets and 164 CSAs, with a [state] population of fewer than 622,000".

Marc and I have yet to sign up for a CSA share but we do frequently visit the Norwich Farmer's Market and the local food Co-Op. Plus, once we get into our house we are hoping to make the most of our land and gardens.
