Buying Local

While I am on my soap box: It is very important to support local agriculture. Buying local reduces your "footprint" by reducing the amount of fossil fuels used and emissions associated with fuel-use in delivery of your products. I think that buying local is more environmentally friendly than buying organic! And it is great to know your farmer! This summer and fall I will be participating in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program nearby. I will be working (share-cropping, if you will) at the Stones Throw Farm in Nedrow, outside of Syracuse. For about twenty-five dollars per week I will be provided with fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, herbs, and flowers! I will be speaking about locally produced foods on the Channel 5 News on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am taping tomorrow at noon time. If you have any suggestions for topics please let me know. I will keep you posted about date and time of broadcast, so Don’t Forget to Tune In!
