Know and Grow Your Food Chain
February 3, 2010
As many of you know, our area lacks an infrastructure of small-scale food processing facilities. This recent story at the Blog For Rural America by Steph Larsen does an excellent job highlighting the problem and suggesting a number of solutions. I especially liked the attention paid to developing beginning farmers, butchers, millers, cheese-makers, grocers, etc., who have the skills, enthusiasm, and community spirit to revitalize our communities and lead us in the future.
