Local goat cheese! Woot!!
I'm excited. My uber-cool neighbor brought this place to my attention:

I hope to go in on a share with her soon. Fresh goat cheese for 7 months of the year, from animals cared for by people who take the role of stewardship seriously. The only way it could get better would be to discover a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) I could buy into locally.
Between this and the Market Fresh project, (a market left in the wake of some TV personality who brought media attention to the obesity problem in this region,) I'm quite happy. Market Fresh tries to obtain all its fruits and vegetables from locally sustainable resources...local, small farmers, essentially. Anything not from this immediate region has a 1-day pick rule: if it can't be at the market to be sold within 1 day of being picked, it won't be accepted.
I scored fresh tomatoes supplied by an Amish farm within 60 miles (he would've grown more but the material used for his cold frame scared his horse;) along with fresh bell peppers, zucchini, summer squash, small red potatoes, early corn, apples, pears and strawberries -- a week's worth of fruit and veggies for $11.50. Amazing what bargains you get when you don't pay for pesticides, chemicals and healthcare in your veggies.
