Key Features
-
Farming wisdom
There is a growing demand in Bucks for fresh, local, organically grown produce and meat, eggs and cheeses from animals grown with room to roam, in fresh air, sunlight and green pastures. Farmers markets are expanding in Bucks County. In 2006, there were two farmer�s markets with local produce; this year there are six. You can find out about them all on the Foodshed Alliance�s website. Local farm stands are beginning to expand as well and need our support.
Increasingly, people are aware that produce that travels 1500 miles to reach their grocery store is neither fresh nor good for the environment nor for their family�s health. They want truly fresh, pesticide and hormone-free, tasty food, which can only be found locally. We believe the time has come for us to again appreciate locally grown food and farmers, get to know our local farmers, learn where our food comes from and how it�s grown, and buy local.
