2009 – A good year for locally grown food in the Mad River Valley!

Originally appeared in the Valley Reporter, December 23, 2009

Despite the devastating late blight disease that wiped out just about every tomato plant in the Valley this summer, Localvores should be feeling pleasantly satiated with the increasing availability of locally grown food that 2009 brought to the Mad River Valley.  This year, the Mad River Valley Localvore Project released the first edition of their Foodshed Map featuring 25 agricultural enterprises ranging from cheesemaking to vegetable farms to fledgling vineyards.  The Localvores plan to produce a new edition of the map for 2010 because several new

Localvore Looking to Trade or Sell Cucumbers

Localvore Looking to Trade or Sell Cucumbers

This is from Fellow Localvore Carol Collins:

I have way more ripe cucumbers that I can use.  I do not have time to make pickles at this time.

I am willing to give my favorite Grandma Mart’s Ripe Cucumber Pickle Recipe to anyone who’d like to use it.

One thought is that I would give the ripe cucumbers to anyone who would give me some of the canned pickles back as trade for the cucumbers.

I also have green cucumbers for sale or trade.

My Best,

Carol
