Join the Slow Food “Farmarazzi”

Recently a few states in the US tried to make taking photgraphs on farms illegal- all farms, good or bad.  The verdict is still out for some of those states.

Help us celebrate our right to know and show where our food comes from

v Visit the following participating farms from the Main Street Farmer’s Market on the listed days during the next three weeks. Take photos of plants, animals, and the farmers themselves (if they don’t run away first) and enjoy the beauty of our own local farms. Email your photos to anntindellkeener@gmail.com

v   Meet on Wednesday June 29 at 6:30 for a pot-luck and   viewer-judged photo contest at GreenSpaces on Main Street.  Don’t forget to include locally grown or produced ingredients in your dish!
