Were We Actually "Better" Back Then?
If we pause to think back, maybe to childhood, perhaps.......our communities, towns and neighborhoods weren't built on monopolies and a handful of mega-sized corporations, were they? I don't remember the existence of such massive buildings we have today; I remember going to the family-owned hardware store with my dad, where he knew the owners, and they always talked forever while I roamed the aisles of the most fascinating store ever.

Building your community, or killing it?

Farmers Market Week 2024
August 4th - 10th, 2024 is National Farmers Market Week. We're celebrating this milestone by sharing the love of fresh food, eating better, and knowing the people who grow and farm where you live. We've got new graphics and images supporting our farm families, local growers, and markets across the country which provide Americans with a direct link to the people who feed the world.
