Weekly Thoughts ... August 17-23

After a lively Friends of Real Food meeting last Wednesday, I have a better idea about what kinds of foods I can expect to find locally (thanks to Jennifer's great presentation!). Group members shared names and stories about where they find tasty and local cheeses, grains, meats, and more! Let's continue the discussion on the blog!
