First things first. Tomorrow is opening day for the Westside Community Market (7 am) and the first outdoor market for the Dane County Farmers’ Market (6 am), Wednesday markets for DCFM start 4/23, 8:30 am. Go meet the farmers from your community and buy and eat their food!
Both markets have weekly newsletters available by email or at their websites to get a glimpse of what will be available . . . most of you probably already know that we write the Weekly Update for the Westside Market.
Also in the news . . .
Do you know about the Dane County Food Council? I didn't! Following is their Mission Statement:
The Dane County Food Council explores issues and develops recommendations to create an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable local food system for the Dane County region.I am excited to read and learn more!
Read about more Wisconsinites taking up the cause of local food in the Door County 100-mile challenge.
There is a trend of 20-somethings turning to farming as a way of life. It is another facet of the local foods revolution.
Now, in case the title of this post somehow slipped past you, go to a Farmers' Market this weekend and taste spring. For more info on other local markets and their start dates click here. As of May, there is a market happening somwhere, every day of the week--amazing.
