LOCALadk | Farms & Markets you can always ask for clarification ofproduct sources. Finally, farmers' markets can teach you to eat with the seasons. With the proliferation of grocery stores and produce imports from around the globe, that's a long forgotten skill. We can buy any food at any time because it's probably in season somewhere in the world. But there's a certain anticipatory joy in waiting for the first ripe local strawberries, tomatoes or sweet corn, and having something on a limited basis heightens the pleasure when it arrives. Learn to appreciate what our local agriculture can accomplish; farming in the Adirondacks is a challenge, and climate change is not making it easier. Many farmers are now using season extension techniques so that we can enjoy some foods earlier in the spring and later into the fall. It's still local and very fresh. Adirondack Harvest is a program of Cornell Cooperative Extension, Essex County, and is a regional organization dedicated to connecting local farmers and consumers in the North Country. The program provides marketing support and promotion for over 200 members across thirteen counties. For current dates, times and locations of farmers markets visit www.adirondackharvest.com.
