Locally Grown Foods

When we eat Locally Grown Foods, we Humans seem more observant of the Cycles of the Earth. We are more protective of what it takes to produce Food, in particular, Her Water, Climate, and Soils. We seem more bound to the Rhythms of the Lives Who Produce our Food.

Life slows a bit. It takes on more of a luster, sparkle and shine. We focus our lives more on the place beneath our feet rather than some distant far off and supposedly more enchanting place.

We express our gratitude for these Simple, yet Mysterious Things. Eating in such a simple way weaves us back into Community, something for which we all deeply yearn.

There is no better reason to care about what is in and on the earth around us than knowing that same stuff will go into our food and our bodies.

Thank you for caring about and caring for our planet.
