Alright – is everyone listening? This is a good idea alert! I was reading the Roxbury Register online the other day and they had an editorial sent in from a Ms. Tamara Scully. Ms. Scully is a member of the Foodshed Alliance. According to their website, the Foodshed Alliance:
a grassroots, non-profit devoted to promoting profitable, sustainable farming and locally-grown, fresh, healthy food in northwestern New Jersey. We believe that the future of our health, our land, and our communities depends, to great extent, on the existence of local farms-that farmers are the keystone to our connection with our food, the land and our sense of place.
Anyone who is interested in this “going green” movement and the idea of making our bodies and lives healthier by eating sustainable foods should check out the Foodshed Alliance at www.foodshedalliance.org. It sounds interesting to me and is definitely something that I’ll be sure to look into the next time I’m up in the Northwest New Jersey area. When I was a little bit younger I had the chance to eat some home grown fruits and vegetables from Northwest New Jersey and they were good!
Anyway, check it out.
