Walpole Grange to Promote Eating Locally
The Walpole Grange has launched a new project to identify and publicize all sources of locally grown agricultural and food products.
Grange member Joe Dion is heading the project and noted recently that "Walpole is in a great position for us to eat locally. We've got first rate eggs, milk, meat, fruit, vegetables, wine and a lot more, all prepared locally. Eating locally supports Walpole farmers, the food is fresher, and we can support local varieties of fruits and vegetables."
Titled "Walpole Homegrown", the compilaton of local food sources will initially be in a brochure published by the Grange. Later it may be published on a web site, and there is even talk of a Walpole food festival
Walpole growers of agricultural or food products that wish to be listed in the Grange directory should contact Joe Dion at 756-3160 as soon as possible. CCB
