There will be 2 public hearings in June at which will be considered bills related to the future of food and farming in Massachusetts. NOFA/Mass has identified 8 of these bills as priorities and urges all members who are concerned about any of these issues to attend and testify or to send testimony.
It’s true, living in Boston you can get just about any piece of produce or type of food you could want at any time, all year long. But do you want to?
Boston resident Julie Wormser has chosen another way. “By ordering vegetables, cheeses, meats, and dairy from Farmers To You,” she says, “I get the freshest local food in my kitchen and on my table. And it’s easy.”
I am not a spontaneous decision maker by nature, but one who does the research, considers all sides, and then makes an informed and educated decision. That is exactly how I have approached my decision to apply for organic certification for our farm. Organic certification has many naysayers outside, as well as inside, the farming world, including organic farmers and my husband, who is also my farming partner.
