Why Bother?
Welcome back to the LocalHarvest newsletter!
As the days get darker and, in most parts of the country, colder, and the year draws to a close, we at LocalHarvest.org find ourselves reflecting more than usual on why we do what we do. Perhaps the hype and hoopla of the holiday season also contributes to our desire to bend inward, revisit the things that matter to us at our cores, and follow them, step by step. As the psychologist Carl Jung said, "Find that which gives you meaning, and let it be your guide." In this month's newsletter LocalHarvest's Erin Barnett offers you one slice of her holiday reflection in an essay on why supporting family farmers, rural communities, and local businesses can and should be a priority in this and every season.
Meanwhile, we wish you a holiday season made memorable for its simplicity, unexpected gestures of kindness, and warmth of spirit.
