Local Stores that will have the Local Goods
While we do enthusiastically promote purchasing and
eating local food, we do not promote any particular
farmer or store over any others. If we have
missed something here, if you have any other
suggestions for alternatives to the Thanksgiving
meal above (especially vegetarian) we want to know
about it!
If you have any information to add to this list,
please call Robin McDermott at 496-3567 or e-mail her.
