Keeping it local

This seems to be an idea whose time is coming. Some regular customers of ours at the Waitsfield market we attend sent us a link to this article about how Brown University is making an effort to buy local food and produce to feed its students and staff. NOFA-VT also has a couple of programs that build connections and buying habits between schools, children, and local farms. In fact, before the school year ended back in June, Maryellen sat down with a board member from our local school in Peacham, and with the school food buyer, to discuss whether it made sense for the school to buy some of our produce this fall. We think it probably will make sense!
