OK, maybe this sounds like a little more than a simple Farmers Market, but that’s what I think a true Farmers Market should be. It should be an institution and an asset to the city and its citizens. It needs to be the link between the rural lands where our food is grown and the people who grow it. We have the opportunity to shape and form what our local food system will look like in the years to come. Is there anything other than water that is more important than food? I’m not sure what will motivate each person to act on a vision like this, but there are thousands of things that can. We just need to find our common grounds, decide that it is important, and then start working towards the realization of our vision.
It is a great post to read and think about what is possible within a farmers market environment.
Wade has a real passion for locally produced food.
If you want to get him excited though, ask him about Christmas charities. I am still waiting for that blog post.
