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

I believe that it can serve as a model for what we could do here in the valley in terms of agriculture, but we are a long way from what they are doing in the Northeast Kingdom.

The Best Applesauce in the World!
I just got a call from Jody Bouchard who owns Owls Head Orchard in Waterbury and he swears that they make the absolute best applesauce on the planet. They use no pesticides in their orchard; instead they have invested in lots of tree frogs and dragon flies who keep the apples bug free. With this years’ bumper crop of apples, Jody is making lots and lots of applesauce and he would love to sell a lot of it over the next couple of weeks to help a family member who just lost his job. They have 47 varieties of Continue reading The Best Applesauce in the World! |
