It's been said that growing your own food is one of the most liberating acts of freedom. I believe that is true! Independence in food is independence in life. As the firework burns slowly heal, now is the time to think - and take action - by going to the local farmer's markets. If you can't grow your own, please support the local people who do! Don't give your money to big agribusiness corporations that only send your dollar to far off places.
Repowering America means getting away from foreign energy and fossil fuels. If we take this seriously, then we need to be laying the framework for a new economy. And what better to do that than to support local food and Northwest Florida's economy. So if you haven't been to one of the local farmer's markets, or even if you go all the time, tell others about it and keep going! There are several in the area. A great place to get started with your search is at LocalHarvest.org.
Enjoy the summer....and enjoy the freedom of local food!
