Buy Locally


I picked up a box of Clementines on sale today at the store. When I read the fine print and saw they were from Chile, I said, out loud, "Nope. I'm buyin' local," and put them back. "I'm stickin' with the peaches!" The fresh Colorado peaches taste great this time of year.

We don't need every exotic food known to man available to us every day of the year. More of us need to stop buying food shipped in from overseas. (The tainted dog food from China should be sufficient as a wake up call!)

If, like us, you lack enough garden space to provide much food for yourselves; then if you can't GROW locally, at least BUY locally.
