Join Facebook Chat: Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food
I’ve always slammed the USDA. But with their new initiative, Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food ,” they’re giving me hope. The USDA’s new program is designed to “create and strengthen the link betwenn local production and local consumption.” They’re actually advocating local farmers and local food! But wait, there’s more! The Agriculture Deputy Secretary, Kathleen Merrigan, will host a Facebook chat to discuss local food systems on Thursday, October 1st from 3:45 PM to 4:15 PM ET. I’m so filled with glee I’m beside myself! Don’t miss the opportunity to take part of history in the making and, at the same time, support your local farmers. Have you any idea how hard local farmers work to give us farm fresh food? We need their food, and they need our support!
