FRESH PRODUCE…NOW?

The local Natural Food CO-OP, ORYANA NATURAL FOODS MARKET, has a great newsletter. This is a cartoon I recently submitted for the newsletter.

Buy Local” fresh produce is the mantra of healthy eaters everywhere.  I wondered how that marketing approach would work for farmers in Northern Michigan this time of year.  Since I also know people living “off the farm” aren’t always clear on the origin of their food, I combined the two issues in a cartoon.  As the cartoon portrays, when in doubt…ask an expert.

A side note from an “Off the Farm” kind of guy:  Is Iceberg Lettuce a Winter Crop or do they really grow lettuce on glaciers?
