Happenings at "The Merck"
Local Food Circle - Monthly Meetings
Local Foods Circle Gathering Wed April 12th
What is the local foods circle? It is a supportive group of food producers and consumers interested in buying local foods. Each month our group meets at the McKittrick Farmers Mercantile for a potluck supper and educational presentation. (email us at mckittrickmercantile@gmail.com) for more information . The group consists of both local food producers providing meat, produce, baked goods and more, as well as consumers committed to purchasing local foods. Our goal is to create a viable year round marketplace of locally raised foods here in our area. Too many local food producers are driving their products to the larger urban areas where they can get better prices and have a more consistent market. We are trying to create a better market for them here. We all eat food every day. We too would like to know, personally, where our food is coming from. Everyone is welcome to this free event!
Our next gathering will be at 6:30 on Wednesday June 14th come meet new foodie friends we will learn about local wildflowers and edibles, and enjoy a great meal.
