Local Food Beat

Sharon New July 20th, 2009

From July 19 – July 27th, the Governor has asked Marylanders to buy at least one Maryland – produced item a day.  If you didn’t make it a Farmers Market this past weekend, you still have time this coming weekend.

The week is brought to you by the good people at the Maryland Department of Agriculture, in all its food-growing glory, from water to fields to wine. It’s really a win-win-win-win for everybody when we try to adhere to the simple requirements of the week. By keeping our food-dollars in the state:

• We reduce the food-miles our meals take — less fuel, better for planet!
• We keep our dollars close to home — good for the producers, good for our state’s economy.
• We support family owned farms — so they can keep farming!
• And it just tastes fresher and better.   Good for us!
