The Sault Ste Marie Farmers Market is going to be open Tuesday, Nov 21st for
a end of season market, we will bring turkeys from our farm (all sold out!)
and there will be apples, pears, cider, pies, bread and fresh croutons, wild
rice, fish, beef and some end of season veggies! We try to get to town at
least once a month with eggs all winter, and next year we will start up in
early June with rhubarb, bedding plants, eggs, and greens. Not bad for da
UP, eh?

>> Buy Local Day!
>> Saturday, November 18th ________________________________ Alarmed by
>> industrial agriculture's interference in the food chain? It's
>> easy to meet local growers and sellers. This Saturday, November 18th,
>> show your support for local food by joining us in Buy Local Day! There
>> are thousands of local farmer's markets, community supported agriculture
>> farms, co-ops and local retailers across the country where you can show
>> your support on Saturday! The typical industrial supermarket food travels
>> an average of 1300 miles
>> from the farm to the dinner table. Subsequently, consumers get farther
>> away from their food sources while farmers command lower prices for
>> their products. For every dollar a consumer spends on such food, farmers
>> receive ten cents or less! Just a few decades ago farmers earned up to
>> seventy cents. But in today's industrialized food system, more and more
>> of our food dollars go to the corporate middlemen for processing,
>> marketing, packaging, storage and shipping, and the people who actually
>> grow it receive increasingly less. The good news is that we can change
>> this industrialized system by
>> demanding and supporting local, organic foods!
