Local Food: In for the Long Haul

by Brian DeVore, Land Stewardship Project

When the Star Tribune‘s “Dollars & Sense” columnist is writing about how to buy locally-produced meat, you know that the local food movement is more than a passing yuppie trend. As another sign that this movement has some legs under it,  this year LSP’s listing of farmers who direct-market food in the region celebrated a decade of existence (it started out as a listing of family hog farmers taped next to a fax machine). The 2009-2010 LSP Stewardship Farm Directory is hot off the press—just in time for Thanksgiving.
