Buy locally, eat delicious(ly)

| | Comments (1)

Check out this fascinating article on Oregon's local farmers from the Willy Week. It does a good job of talking about how the growing consumer consciousness about buying and eating locally is transforming Oregon's agricultural industry. Choice stats: the number of Oregon farms increased by more than 50% over the last 30 years, compared to a 30-40% decline in breadbasket state farm numbers over the same time frame. And according to one study, the average dinner travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate. Good stuff, and it features our farm!

"All this has some proclaiming Portland the bellwether of some not-yet-defined revolution."

YEAH!

This is true!

This is the revolution! It's one of them, anyway. We are in the midst of many revolutions right now. And soon, they will all come together, and it will be awesomely unstoppable.


(Thanks for the link, freddy.)
