Local Harvests

Local eaters and producers are gearing up for the first Local Food Day, Saturday, Sept. 22.

Lini Wollenberg, director of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture at UVM, advocates for recognition of a Local Food Day from the state, but with or without government certification, this year's local celebration will go ahead as planned. Farmers and food businesses, as well as eaters and foodies, will mark the day with events across the Green Mountain State. Watch for a schedule in the local paper or at the market.
