Seth Godin is one of my favorite author and his blog is a great place to go to get a shot of adrenaline for your brain!
He's got a blog post about The Death of the Farmers' Markets. It's not really so much that the markets themselves are dying as that many of them have been so wildly successful that they've gotten very large and very commercial and now have no room for actual farmers! The farmer's spot has been taken by people selling packaged foods, of course!
I'm happy to say that he's got it wrong in this area! Our farmers markets are still pretty small, local affairs. There are still local producers of local foods there. I hope that will be the case for a very long time. Maybe that's one of the advantages of living in a more rural area!
And, if you're on the lookout for local food sources you might want to check out the page I've added to my web site with sources of local foods, directly from the people who have grown them. If you've got additional sources that I'm unaware of, please let me know and I'll be happy to add them!
