The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food (KYF) initiative itself is the brainchild of USDA Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan — possibly the highest ranking supporter of sustainable agriculture we’ve ever had at USDA — as a way to highlight efforts to aid local foods.Lots of good links.
The Northwood Area Farmers Market Association was founded in 2008 to bring fresh locally produced and grown food and value added products from local businesses to the community. We hope to help local businesses market their products and promote sustainable agriculture and economic growth. Market dates and hours: Every Tuesday from 3-6 pm from mid-May to early October.
