Is Local Food Elitist?

January 6th, 2011

Rebecca Terk at Big Stone Bounty recently asked an interesting question: Is local food elitist? It's a question that I wrestle with quite often. In her post, Rebecca writes:

Out here in the rural areas where I've been living for the vast majority of my life, the local food craze might seem like more of an urban fad than a legitimate lifestyle choice (and out here, even the phrase, "lifestyle choice" will raise some eyebrows).... With a background steeped in sit-down family meals and gardening as a form of both sustenance and competition (my mother and her father vied for the first full-sized bell pepper of the season), it seems to me that urbanites are really just catching on to what rural people have known all along-food from your farm or garden is fresher and tastes better." (source: "Is local food elitist?" Rebecca Terk, Big Stone Bounty, Dec. 29, 2010)

This last phrase stuck with me. "It seems to me that urbanites are really just catching on to what rural people have known all along." Is that really true? I hope it is. But I also know that some rural residents are critical of local food initiatives.

Where does this tension come from?

Reading Rebecca's post prompted me to remember a passage from Kent Meyers book The Witness of Combines (1998). Meyers writes about his life growing up on a small farm in southern Minnesota. In one of his stories, he reminisces about his mother's canning experience, and how she would grow irritated at hearing young mothers brag about the enjoyment and fulfillment they received canning ten quarts of tomatoes from their garden. Meyer's mother would can 120 quarts each year. As a fulltime farm wife that was her job. It was hard work. And she did it because the family needed to save money. It was also work that she gave up as soon as she was financially able to do so.

How would Michelangelo feel?

Meyers goes on to compare his mother's canning expertise to that of an artist like Michelangelo. We often forget the blood, sweat, and tears that artists put into their work. Hearing others talk about how easy it is to replicate that work must be a bit demeaning. Thinking in these terms, I wonder if that's how some modern agricultural producers feel when they hear talk about the local foods movement. Often the stories we read and hear make the local foods initiatives sound easy and cool. If that's the case, I understand the tension that sometimes exists in rural communities about local foods initiatives. So, is local food elitist? I don't think so. Readers here know that I'm a firm believer that rural communities should consider a local foods initiative as an economic development strategy. But I do understand the tension that exists among food producers. And I believe that both Rebecca Terk and Kent Meyers can help people on both sides of the fence understand each other a bit more.

Buy Benicar Without Prescription

May 12th, 2010

Buy Benicar Without Prescription, Move over corn. Look out beans. A new study by an Iowa State University professor suggests local food production could produce $882 million in sales and add 9, cod online Benicar, Benicar for sale, 300 jobs in the Midwest. It also notes that demand for these foods already exists. So much for the argument that local foods initiatives don't make economic sense in the Midwest. (Read the study here.)

Before going on, let me assure my farming friends that my opening paragraph is not meant as an attack on traditional agriculture. In my opinion, Benicar price, coupon, Buy cheap Benicar, rural communities need a strong farm economy. But we also have to open our minds to the idea that local food development should be a part of that economy as well.

I first learned about the study from a Daily Yonder article titled "The Benefits of Local Food in the Midwest." Interested parties should also check out an article in the Los Angeles Times titled "Study finds Midwest could profit by growing fruit, Benicar in uk, Buy Benicar without prescription, vegetables to meet demand for local food."

Building the local foods economy will not be an easy task. The Los Angeles Times notes the following, citing report author David Swenson:

It won't be easy now for farmers to switch to other crops, free Benicar samples, Online buying Benicar hcl, Swenson said. Expertise in the Midwest tends to be in livestock or commodity crops such as corn and soybeans, order Benicar from mexican pharmacy, Benicar overseas, not produce. The states don't have policies to encourage expanded fruit and vegetable production, Benicar buy, Purchase Benicar, and many consumers don't think much about where their produce is grown." (source: Michael J. Crumb, Benicar in japan, Buying Benicar online over the counter, "Study finds Midwest could profit by growing fruit, vegetables to meet demand for local food, Benicar paypal, Next day Benicar, " Los Angeles Times, May 7, where to buy Benicar, Rx free Benicar, 2010.)

This means we have a lot of capacity building work to do to take advantage of the opportunity.

I know people like Rebecca Terk at the Flying Tomato Farm and Pat Garrity of the Buy Fresh Buy Local South Dakota project are leading this effort, alongside many others, Benicar from canadian pharmacy. Benicar medication, Now the rest of us need to figure out what we can do to help.

Note: There are a lot of good sessions on local foods at the Grassroots and Groundswork conference. I'm not sure if I'm going to get a chance to attend, buy Benicar without prescription, Order Benicar from United States pharmacy, but I'm sure others will share resources on Twitter via the #G&G2010 hashtag.

Buy Sumenta Without Prescription

April 29th, 2010

Can the development of farmers markets lead to larger economic activities than just selling fresh food? Many Hilltowns residents in rural Buy Sumenta Without Prescription, Albany County, NY believe it can. And they've formed the Helderberg Hilltowns Association to lead the charge.

According to an article titled "More than farmers markets, Sumenta medication, Sumenta trusted pharmacy reviews, " the new association will seek to "promote sustainable economic development in the small, rural towns by featuring their farms, rx free Sumenta, Buy Sumenta from mexico, hiking trails, historic sites and sweeping vistas." (Source: Christen Gowan, Sumenta over the counter, Order Sumenta online overnight delivery no prescription, "More than farmers markets," Albany Sun-Times, buy Sumenta without prescription, Sumenta san diego, April 9, 2010).

Sustainable economic development; that's awesome. As I looked into the Association a little closer, next day Sumenta, Order Sumenta no prescription, several items caught my attention:

The region is rural. Of the four communities represented in the Association, the largest has a population of 3500.)

The organization is tapping into an underutilized asset as its foundation, buy cheap Sumenta. Sumenta discount, The region is already blessed with a cluster of farmers growing foods for local farmers markets. They hope to connect these and other craft businesses with the region's natural beauty to attract visitors, order Sumenta from mexican pharmacy. Real brand Sumenta online,

It's a grassroots organization. Membership is open to anyone who shares the association's goals, sale Sumenta, Where to buy Sumenta, and decisions about the organization's future will be shaped by those who participate.

They've got a good start with Web 2.0 tools: They used wiki technology to build their website and have a Facebook Group to connect with their community. Transparency in community development is becoming increasingly important.

I still sense that most South Dakotans don't see the local foods industry as real economic development. Just a couple weeks ago, fast shipping Sumenta, Delivered overnight Sumenta, I was told by a person who operates a bed and breakfast on a rural acreage that South Dakotans can't make money from growing local foods. It caught me totally by surprise because I believe B&B's and local foods are a perfect marriage.

I responded to this criticism saying local foods is economic development and pointed out the success of Hardwick, VT. I also mentioned the Business Week article touting the local foods industry as an economic development strategy. Unfortunately, Sumenta from international pharmacy, Saturday delivery Sumenta, I sensed my argument fell on deaf ears.

Now I realize the local foods strategies employed in rural South Dakota would have to be different from those of the Helderber Hilltowns Association; we don't have the population base nearby like they do in the Hilltowns of Albany County. But we do have other assets that we can marry with local foods to build a new economy. We just need to be creative and open to new ideas, buy Sumenta without a prescription. Sumenta pills, After all, isn't that what we mean by "ReImagine Rural?"

January 25th, 2010

The Buy Reductil Without Prescription, Buy Fresh, Buy Local South Dakota initiative has taken another step. They've launched a new website, and stand ready to help South Dakota's producers and consumers build a more robust local foods economy.

As I wrote in a post a couple weeks ago, online buy Reductil without a prescription, Reductil san diego, schools in our rural communities can play an important role in the growing local foods movement. Not only can schools help teach children healthy eating habits, but they can stimulate economic development at the local community level. And as Business Week recently reported, order Reductil online overnight delivery no prescription, Reductil discount, local foods initiatives play a more significant role in economic development than most people realize.

The Buy Fresh, Buy Local South Dakota website is another educational tool for helping people learn more about foods grown in the region. It includes a calendar of upcoming events and a forum for asking questions. I intend to keep it on my radar, Reductil for sale, Reductil prescriptions, and will turn to it with my questions.

Currently, there's only one question in the forum. In a nutshell it acknowledges the difficulty of buying locally grown foods during our winter months, next day Reductil, Reductil in australia, and essentially asks, "How can we get more?"

I'm anxious to learn what ideas others will add to the conversation. My response might be, Reductil gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Reductil from canadian pharmacy, let's be more aggressive in our support of local foods this spring, summer, Reductil in usa, Fast shipping Reductil, and fall, so that more of our producers feel comfortable making the financial investments required to turn their operation into a year-round production.

Buy Chantix Without Prescription

January 13th, 2010

Buy Chantix Without Prescription, There's no doubt that good restaurants are important to rural communities. They make rural communities more attractive places to live. They often serve as "informal meeting places where community is built" (e.g., third places). And they often improve the local economy by giving people a place to spend their money locally.

My guess is that Reuben Wentz must appreciate the importance of a good restaurant. The 93-year-old retired farmer recently gave $500,000 to his hometown of Napoleon, North Dakota (pop. Buy Chantix online without a prescription, 857) to create a new community-owned restaurant.

The restaurant replaces the old, deteriorating building that housed the community's previous community-owned restaurant. It sounds like they've got a good thing going with the restaurant. Its features include:

6, where can i buy cheapest Chantix online, Chantix prices, 000 square feet

New, brightly lit kitchen

TV monitors

Wireless mikes for presentations

It's also home to the Logan County Economic Development Offices, cod online Chantix, Chantix medication, which set up the foundation that manages the restaurant. I bet many of Napoleon's neighboring communities are envious.

It's important to attract people

It sounds like the community is excited about the restaurant. The Bismarck Tribune quotes foundation board member Jennifer Schumacher:

"It was such a moment of joy, Chantix in canada. Chantix prescriptions, I thought - I think we all thought - this is such a turning point for Napoleon," she said, Chantix to buy online. Buy Chantix without a prescription, Without much debt to service, the new venture should succeed, buy Chantix from mexico, Chantix from international pharmacy, she said.

"We have a new drug store, young people are moving in and wind towers are going up, Buy Chantix Without Prescription. With such a beautiful restaurant here in Napoleon, buy Chantix online no prescription, Purchase Chantix online, we can do it," Schumacher said, where to buy Chantix. Fast shipping Chantix, (source: Lauren Donovan, "Napoleon benefactor builds restaurant for community" Bismark Tribune, Chantix in japan, Chantix for sale, 12-2-09)

That's economic development

Any community seeking to attract young people (Gen Y) has to evaluate the availability of local food services. It's something they look for when choosing a community to call home.

With this in mind, I've been thinking about how the Napoleon might leverage this restaurant effort for further economic development. Two thoughts have emerged:

First, Chantix trusted pharmacy reviews, Saturday delivery Chantix, what can be done to foster a true "third place" atmosphere, making it a place where people of all ages and backgrounds meet for conversation? We know that conversation between people of varying backgrounds in third places can lead to greater community trust (e.g, order Chantix online overnight delivery no prescription. Buy cheap Chantix no rx, bridging social capital). But third places don't magically emerge. They take thoughtful consideration and effort.

Second, buy Chantix online cod, Ordering Chantix online, could the community-owned restaurant be leveraged to create a local foods initiative? Perhaps, they could make a commitment to buying locally raised foods. The kitchen could also be a "shared use kitchen" that helps entrepreneurs develop new food products.

Both of those ideas will take more effort and possibly more financial capital. They may or may not be right for Napoleon. But rural communities need to think like this to maximize their economic development efforts.

Small towns also need people like Reuben Wentz who are willing to invest in their community's future.

Note: Thanks to John Crabtree of the Center for Rural Affairs for making me aware of this story in their January newsletter. Readers may also be interested in past ReImagine Rural stories about community owned grocery stores.

Buy Karela Without Prescription

January 4th, 2010

Buy Karela Without Prescription, While grocery shopping for Christmas, I picked up some delicious looking strawberries. It's difficult to grow fresh strawberries during South Dakota's harsh winter, and I suspected these strawberries had been grown on a hydroponic farm in some distant land. Unfortunately, Karela medication, Order Karela from United States pharmacy, their flavor fell far short of my already low expectations, and I suspect their nutritional value wasn't far behind.

With this disappointment fresh in my mind, delivered overnight Karela, Buying Karela online over the counter, I caught a tweet from Deb Brown at DebWorks. She shared an interesting article describing how the Independence (IA) School District has embraced the local foods movement in an effort to both improve the nutritional value of their school lunches and to education young people about healthy living. (Source: "School lunch goes local," Iowa Farmer Today, buy Karela without prescription, Next day Karela, 12-23-09)

The school district is a part of the Iowa Farm to School Initiative. They purchase locally grown produce, and prepare it at their kitchen. In an effort to help young people understand what healthy eating is all about and where their food comes from, Karela in australia, Where to buy Karela, the school has also developed an educational component.

Not only am I impressed with the efforts because it should lead to healthier eating for young people, but also because it stimulates the local economy. Granted it must take a little extra effort to prepare the fruits and vegetables, buy generic Karela, Karela prescriptions, but I'm sure the school's kitchen workers appreciate the extra hours and accompanying wages.

There's been a growing movement lately to discredit local foods initiatives. The theory goes that mass producing foods and shipping them across the country leads to greater economic efficiencies. But as a recent Business Week article titled "Entrepreneurs Keep the Local Food Movement Hot" reports, purchase Karela online, Karela tablets, local foods initiatives play a more critical role in economic development than most people realize.

After conducting a quick internet search for the Farm to School Initiative, I've concluded there's not much happening in South Dakota's schools. If true, buy no prescription Karela online, Buy Karela from canada, that's disappointing.

Good nutrition and a little economic development. That's something that could benefit all of our rural communities.

Buy Zocor (Simvastatin) Without Prescription

December 24th, 2008

Buy Zocor (Simvastatin) Without Prescription, In addition to Santa and gift-giving, Christmas means eating (usually lots of eating) to millions of Americans. Unfortunately, preparing the Christmas treats and meals requires far too many rural residents to drive 15-20 miles to purchase their groceries. Simply put, declining populations and changing retail practices have forced many local grocery stores to close over the last few decades.

With that in mind, I'd like to share a resource intended to help concerned residents bring grocery stores back to their communities.

Titled "Grocery Store Attraction Strategies: A Resource Guide for Community Activists and Local Governments ", it offers a 10-step process which I have highlighted below:

Identify and organize stakeholders.

Raise awareness of the problem.

Understand the challenges.

Consider the alternatives.

Understand the retail market.

Address the perception of the area.

Identify potential development sites.

Research and offer incentives.

Sell the opportunity.

Secure community support and corporate accountability.

This resource, develop by PolicyLink and the Bay Area LISC, is largely written for an urban audience. While it offers a great starting point for any community look to develop a grocery store attraction strategy, I will continue to look for and share additional resources more applicable for a rural setting.

And if you know any yourself, I'd encourage you to share them in the comment section. Zocor (Simvastatin) prescriptions. Where to buy Zocor (Simvastatin). Zocor (Simvastatin) price, coupon.

Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription

December 19th, 2008

South Dakota's Farmers Markets were a popular item in 2008 Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription, . And with the help of some federal grant money, I'm hoping they will attract even more attention in 2009.

Existing farmers markets and groups interested in establishing new farmer's markets may apply for up to $1000 from the grant program. Administered by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture, the grant may be use for such expenses as "start up costs, promotion, advertising, marketing, vendor recruitment, market infrastructure, consumer education, "buy local" programs, and efforts to define a customer base."

I'll let you read the rest of the grant information in the press release. If you are already chomping at the bit to apply, you can download the application here.

But for those who are still on the fence and want to learn more, I'll provided the following resources:

SD Specialty Ag Producers. Rhoda Burrows has been instrumental in helping this group of local food producers, Diclofenac in us. Diclofenac from canadian pharmacy, I'd highly encourage anyone looking for some advice on establishing a farmer's market to contact Rhoda (605-688-4371 or burrows.rhoda@ces.sdstate.edu).

Dakota Rural Action has been very interested in supporting local food production. They publish a "Local Foods Directory" and are interested in helping more producers get started.

A South Dakota "Buy Fresh Buy Local" chapter is currently being established by Pat Garrity (605-660-1034 or garrity@iw.net), where to buy Diclofenac. Buy Diclofenac online with no prescription, "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" is an educational campaign to raise awareness of and support for local food systems.

Other Producers. Before jumping into a project like a farmers market, buying Diclofenac online over the counter, Diclofenac pills, I'd highly recommend networking with existing producers. Obviously the SD Specialty Producers Association is a great place to start, buy cheap Diclofenac no rx, Order Diclofenac online c.o.d, but you may also want to check out producers who publish their own blogs, like Flying Tomato Farms.

Dakota Flavor: This site provides a listing of existing farmers markets in South Dakota .

Be inspired: Learn more about what groups around the country are doing, buy cheap Diclofenac. Online buying Diclofenac hcl, There's a lot of innovative stuff out there.
