A King County Puget Sound Fresh program!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. With summer behind us and winter looming ahead, local farms are growing and harvesting the delicious foods of autumn.  Imagine warm butternut squash soup, roasted buttery potatoes, fresh-baked apple pie, toasted pumpkin seeds. 

Take the Pledge!
This Thanksgiving, take the pledge and offer at least one menu item prepared with a locally grown or produced food.  It's a simple, affordable and delicious way to show your support for local farms and help sustain our local food economy.

When you choose to Eat Local for Thanksgiving, you:
•    Support our local farms, which increases local jobs and strengthens the rural areas of Washington
•    Reduce our dependence on food grown far away
•    Keep our locally earned dollars circulating in our local economy
•    Strengthen our local food system so we have healthy, safe and delicious food that supports our families and our environment.

Visit:  www.pugetsoundfresh.org/eatlocal, and please forward to family, friends and colleagues, and invite them to join you in your pledge to Eat Local for Thanksgiving!

Some farmers markets are open all winter, so check out www.pugetsoundfresh.org   to find the one nearest you, or visit your local farm-friendly grocer for some Northwest bounty.
