July Localvore Newsletter: Celebrate Your Food Independence & Interdependence
Celebrate Your Food
Independence & Interdependence
July 4th is ripe with opportunities to celebrate both our
food independence and interdependence.
food independence and interdependence.
Food Independence: Celebrate our access to local food from farms, backyard gardens, CSAs, farmers' markets, and other local markets. Plan your 4th of July menu to include local food: pasture-raised chicken, grass-fed beef and pork, local cheese, and in-season fruits & veggies.
Food Interdependence: Celebrate the connections with our farmers, gardeners, and neighbors who share their abundance, along with the plants, soil, pollinators, ...and let's not forget the weather.
