Think Globally; Become a Locavore

I was pleased to see a story on the locavore movement in today's Press-Register.

As I found at the Deep South Fruit & Vegetable Growers conference, there is interest in locally-produced food, but not enough producers to meet the demand. In the article, Jim Todd of the local extension office says that farmers with small plots are being encouraged to venture into the CSA market. I hope they're successful! A friend of mine is one of the lucky ones with a share at Bee Natural Farms. I called last fall and got on the waiting list, but was told as confirmed in the story that the wait can indeed be a long one.
