I have to confess to you all, I'm torn! We're so looking forward to our March 7 Season Opening of the Farmer's Market. But the long-range weather forecast is for rain - which we desperately need! We'll wait until we're closer to the date, sometime next week, to see what happens.

It's a simple idea, to eat well by "eating local," but for too many, "eating local" means getting a sub sandwich from a fast-food place.

True locally produced food simply tastes better than food that has been produced to withstand long-distance trucking and warehouse storage. Conventional produce, on average, travels 1500 miles before it gets to our kitchen. Grocery store tomatoes are generally a month old (kudos to Peterson's Family Foods for selling locally grown tomatoes in season!). Potatoes are often a year old; carrots, 5-6 months; eggs, a month or two old.

The moisture loss and the decay of flavor and scent deteriorate over time, resulting in a less-tasty product. And, because enzymes break down the nutrients of food, stored food is less nutritious than fresh-picked. And don't forget that conventional food is produced with long transport and shelf-life as a priority, not necessarily great taste. Nearby growers do not have to worry about their food surviving shipping, and can produce food with delicious flavor as the priority.

Locally produced food can be picked at the peak of ripeness, whereas grocery-bound food must be picked well ahead of ripeness to account for transporting and storage times.

It's also likely that local growers use few if any pesticides on their crops. Even washing produce doesn't get rid of all the pesticide residue and wax used on many foods, and those things simply don't taste good.

Local eating supports small farms as well as the local community. For every dollar spent at the grocery store, only $.18 goes to the farmer. When you buy directly from him, those remaining $.82 stay in our community.

Our next Farmer's market is set for March 7 (weather permitting). We expect to have fresh lettuce and asparagus, and maybe more produce, as well as beef, locally roasted coffee, and fresh baked goods. Hope to see you there!
