While on my little motorcycle road trip I was quite happy to see a plethora of farmer's market signs. Everything from road-side stands to county farmers markets scattered through the countryside. Signs ranged in size from those little temporary plywood signs to official brown or blue "highway attraction" steel and aluminum signs, announcing "Local Food Here!" It is an indication of where this country is going. The public is indeed becoming aware of this food alternative nearly everywhere. This is especially true of Tennessee. I rode nearly the entire width of that great state on highway 64. There must have been hundreds of roadside stands and small markets.
Lowering our dependence on foreign oil is one thing. Lowering our dependence on food from large international monolithic food producers is another. It is good!!!
