It's Not Too Late!

What does local food mean to you? What would you like to see? For example, we just read in "Saveur" (Jan/Feb 2010, "The Saveur 100") that there is an organisation outside of Boston, Cape Ann Fresh Catch, that is community-supported fishing. Like Community Supported Agriculture (CSA's), just fish! People, we have fish here. Would you pay to have a steady supply of locally caught fish? No? What would you LIKE to see?

In April, the Florida Food Policy Council will select the demonstration region for sustainable food in Florida. To us, there is no better choice than the Treasure Coast (Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee Counties). GreenPathsFlorida.org is here to represent - tell 'em what we got, people! Get the farmers you love to write in. Get that crazy idea out there. Volunteer to help realize what you've always dreamed could never happen. 'Cause it won't without YOU!

What are we doing? We were very impressed with Saturday's Western Lands Study; lots of good information on various plans that have worked for other areas. We enjoyed Little Ag Land at the St Lucie County Fair yesterday, and mentioned buying local when we got quoted in today's paper. We are considering an awning across the storefront; it would save so much energy in the long run, as we are western exposure. Worth the challenge of changing now. Deep sigh and jump in. Also, we are working very hard to promote the Treasure Coast and are talking to everyone we know and a lot of people we don't. The longer the list of interested parties, the better a candidate we become!

We look forward to serving you soon.
