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.
