Food Independence Day

Food Independence Day, originally uploaded by The Kitchen Gardener.

"Local foods are patriotic, whether you’re buying them from producers in your area or growing some of your own. They’re good for our local farmers, our economies, our health, and that of the planet. Best of all, they taste great because they’re fresh from the soil.

This July 4th, we’re asking our nation’s first families not only to lead by example but to eat by example by sourcing their holiday meals as locally, deliciously, and sustainably as possible."
