Have you enjoyed a juicy ripe peach or tomato?  What about some locally grown sweet corn or fresh green beans?  We are so blessed to live in an area where produce is plentiful.  I read this week that, on average most food travels more than 1,500 miles before it reaches our plates.  By the time you add in transportation costs and packaging to protect the food, considerable costs both in dollars and to the environment are added to our food choices. 

August 7-13, 2016 you can join Ohioans from across the state in celebrating local foods week.  Why celebrate it?
