Get Your GreenBack’s Summer Steps - Eat Local & Save
Summer brings an abundant harvest and opportunities for affordable and flavorful feasts. This is a great time of year to take a new step to eat local and save:
- Shop farmstands--it’s on your way home
- Pick your own--picking fruits and vegetables is family fun
- Farmer’s markets--did you know you can use WIC and Food stamps?
- Go fishing & eat wild
- Dine at restaurants serving local food
- Create, learn and share recipes that use local food
- Preserve the harvest--can, freeze, dry, ferment, pickle
- Grow your own--Summer’s the perfect time to start a Fall garden or join a community garden
- Share from your garden and cook together
- Learn to stretch your food dollar & food stamps
- Buy, prepare and preserve in bulk
- Plan your recipes around what’s in season
- Glean--let no part of the harvest go to waste
