FOOD SECURE: Grow Your Food, Support LOCAL FARMERS — Ep. 118
Having and supporting a local food system has always been important, but that reality came into the general public's attention more clearly during the pandemic when there were intermittent food shortages and supply chain challenges. This encouraged many people—including us—to start focusing on growing food and strengthening the local food system by supporting local growers.
The Finger Lakes area has been a local agricultural hub for some time—producing many of the state's vegetables, fruits and grains. A good portion of the farms here are also organic or biodynamic–making them more resilient to price hikes for petroleum-based fertilizers, for instance, since products like that aren't used in their farming practices. Additionally, when farmers only have to travel short distances (typically within 30 miles) to market their products at the farmers market or local cooperatives, then rising gas prices don't pose as much of a problem. This makes the overall local food system a lot more resilient to larger global issues and political whims.
The Ithaca Farmers Market is an incredible place to experience local food and arts and crafts if you're in the area. Established in 1973, the Farmers Market is a vendor-owned cooperative that is opened year-round. In the summer, that's when you can find a plethora of produce, local victuals and provisions, and crafts and wares.
To find out more about the market, you can visit www.ithacamarket.com and to find other great places to hang out and visit, head over to http://www.visitithaca.com, which graciously sponsored the making of this video.
