MAD RIVER VALLEY

Localvore Project

Celebrating and supporting local food in the Mad River Valley - those who eat it and those who grow it - through education, community connections, and collective wisdom.

   

Those who say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

John Dromgoole

Wondering how you are going to get the money to buy a CSA share this year?  The federal government will be sending economic stimulus checks out beginning in May.  Whether you spend it on a CSA share, use it to pay off some bills, or stick it in your sock drawer to spend at the farmers' market when it opens in mid-May, the Localvores urge you to KEEP IT IN VERMONT!


FOOD RECALLS that might be of interest to you are now being listed on our website.  Needless to say, these are all from our industrial food system and NOT local food systems.  Click here to see the recent recalls.
