Why August is the Best Time to Enjoy Local Food https://bit.ly/3M0LV2T August can be a bittersweet month. The start of the school year looms, and the weather begins to hint of autumn. Yet, August still embodies so much of what we all love about summer. Long days, warm nights, and good local food. It’s that last part that we like the best! Across multiple states, including Massachusetts and New Hampshire, August is Eat Local Month. Initiatives taken by multiple organizations, restaurants, and farms encourage residents to put their money into the local economy by supporting the people who grow, sell, and cook some of the best food around. Local food is about so much more than what goes on your plate. It’s about making sure our local food systems can survive and thrive! So we’re shining a light on how New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts make August the best time of year to eat local food. Let’s dig in! Live Free and Eat Local in NH With a nickname like “The Granite State,” you might be tricked into thinking the ground beneath New Hampshire is nothing more than solid rock. The state’s soil is rocky, but that doesn’t mean it can’t support a local food system. In fact, New Hampshire has one of the most diverse and energetic local food scenes in all of New England....

Using sports to turn young athletes into servant leaders that lead a healthy and confident lifestyle.
Food deserts, in my opinion, are one of the most underrated topics of discussion when it comes to why people eat what they eat. The lack of knowledge on this topic simply comes from 2 different perspectives. 1) A person does NOT live in a food desert. 2) A person has grown up only knowing the landscape of a food desert and never leaves. (for whatever reason) I believe it is important to remember there are other lives happening outside of your own. Just because you are not facing a specific adversity does not mean the adversity doesn’t exist. Where ever you are, next time you drive through town I encourage you to pay attention to the demographics and business/companies that serve those demographics. You may not be able to physically or financially go and rid an area of a food desert, but you can find other solutions to help the problem. No matter how big or how small, solutions are solutions that DO make an impact.
