This afternoon I had the opportunity to check the Blacksburg farmer's market. I bought some delicious apples, a couple pumpkins, tomatoes, green beans (snaps to the southerners), and some grass-finished ground beef. I also had the pleasure of talking to a few of the farmers. Phil Mosser, the co-owner of Shadowchase farm, spoke at great length about the numerous benefits of local food, grain-finished beef, and the bureaucratic obstacles that local farmers have to face.
Perhaps he would be willing to give us a tour. Debating local foods has one distinct advantage in that we can actually get testimony from local farmers. We should all try our best to seek out local farmers and local food consumers. Ask them a question like: "Why grow/buy local food as opposed to industrial?"
Here is the link to Shadowchase Farms. He has a bit of info about his farm and grass-finished beef on there, and it may be worthwhile to check it out.
