Welcome to a blog dedicated to discussion LOCAL FOODS!
There is a vast variety in which a discussion can grow on local foods. To start, I will plant some seeds with the results of the 2009 Cloverbelt Farmers’ Market surveys. The following points are to produce more thoughts, ideas and inputs to further support Agricultural in the Dryden area.
- 27% of those surveyed visit the Oxdrift market once per month
- 97% of the Dryden area residents are interested in local foods
- 73% ranked the produce sold at the market at a higher quality versus the store bought produce
- Location of the market…About 60% of those surveyed believed the market would be more successful if it was located in downtown Dryden
- Strawberries, carrots and potatoes are the top requests at the Farmers’ Market
Please comment on the points above or anything else that comes to mind...
