Why local is better.

When you buy local meat, produce and other goods, you are not only supporting your local community and small businesses, but you’re also supporting a healthier, more sustainable future. We get that there are downsides: The worst is when you’re planning on bacon-wrapped chicken breasts, but your meat vendor is sold out of both. The upside is that your vendor likely has a suggestion for a different cut that can be substituted, or a seasonal recipe you never thought of before. Don’t be afraid to ask!

Being open to eating with the seasons, and working with local supply and demand can often open doors to healthier, more sustainable options that work with your budget and bring some variety to your table. 

Summer is in full swing, which means there’s an abundance of produce available this week, as well as pasture-raised meats, ready-made dinner items, fresh-baked breads and specialties, desserts, all-natural body care products… as well as ice cream and Italian Ice. 

This week we host Marji Zintz at the music tent
