The Governor has proclaimed Washington Organic Week to be September 9-15, 2012 so it’s almost time to celebrate! And we at Crave Local love supporting organic, sustainable growing practices, especially when we get to eat it. (Cassandra and Dikla are probably more excited about the organic cider events; I’m just as excited about food policy.) Whatever you’re curious about, it’s a great opportunity to visit farms, learn about how food is grown locally, and reconnect with the amazing farmers that support our amazing food culture.
Here’s a list of some of the upcoming events. If you can make even one, it’s sure to be a blast, but you should also go and support your local farmer’s markets when you can. For details on these events and more, go visit Tilth Producers of Washington online at www.tilthproducers.org
