We eat 100% local for 26 weeks of the year. Everythng we eat comes from the Elmwood Bidwell Farmers Market. It's easy

Holy Toledo that's a lotta local. I'm impressed. So lemme pick your brain a minute. What can well-meaning people do to make it easier for more people?

Loved this summation of your work in Pembroke, NY. Back in the 80's as well, I was employed by Kreher's Eggs Family Farms in Clarence, NY. I worked in the collecting room and processing. just because I lived close by and needed a job. Needless to say, I did smell like a farm girl at the end of my shift. One day, the boss asked me if I could drive tractor. I still can't. You do have a way with words, Mr. Galarneau.

I follow the EWG (Environmental Watch Group)'s recommendations on what one should buy organic and what is safe to buy conventional. Unfortunately I just can't find enough locally produced organic fruits and vegetables offered.

There may be more - those two off the top of my head.

Did you know that Thorpe's and Native Offerings - both certified organic farms - offer subscriptions to their produce? Community supported agriculture (CSA) programs are farm subscriptions.

I appreciate you putting this out there in the universe and especially the 716.
