Welcome back to the LocalHarvest newsletter!
We want to extend warm thanks to all of you who have been using LocalHarvest this Fall. Whether you have been using our unparalleled national directory to find local foods, or buying directly from family farmers through our catalog, your participation in LocalHarvest plays an important role in helping American family farms thrive.
As winter weather settles in all across the country, the season brings a shift in focus for many LocalHarvest farmers. Many are reacquainting themselves with their homes after spending most of the spring, summer and fall in their fields. It is a quieter time of year on the farm, and the natural time to review the past season and begin planning for the coming one. After the demanding production months, these slower, shorter days also offer farmers a chance to rest - even if they are poring over a seed catalog while they do so.
From all of us at LocalHarvest, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. May you be surrounded by that which gives your life meaning and joy.
