Here we are at the end of August and the end of NH Eats Local month. This month we’ve explored KFH origins, community, how we create access to local foods, economic impact, farm-based education programs, and the team that makes it all possible. Read more in Part 1 and Part 2 of this blog series.
To close out this month, we’re reflecting on how we live free and eat local - and the why behind the work. There are so many layers to the impact of growing, sharing, eating, and choosing local foods when we can, from social nourishment to greater food sovereignty for our community.
Of course, the importance and impact of a vibrant local food system and the work that makes it possible continues all year, day by day.
That's why it's vital to keep the why behind choosing local food front and center, to inspire us all to support our local food system when we can and to remind us of the deep nourishment that this work provides to ourselves and the community.
We think this is beautifully articulated in a video the KFH team did last year with Visit NH for their How I Live Free series. We hope you enjoy it and feel inspired to choose local not just this NH Eats Local Month, but all year long!
