Celebrate Local Foods Week at Farms and Farmers Markets
 
On average, food travels 1,500 miles before it reaches your plate. Want to know how to cut down on all those miles (and emissions!) while enjoying fresher, tastier, and even Local Foods Weekhealthier meals? The simple answer is buying local. Here in Centre County, there are many food producers and they're easy to find! With local restaurants featuring foods from area farmers and a number of producer-only farmers' markets, one might say eating locally is easier than Just-Picked Apple Pie!  
The 5th Annual Local Foods Week is August 4-9 with special events at area farmers markets. The final day will also mark the 3rd Annual Farm Tour at 15 Centre County farms. Bring a cooler and collect fresh, sustainable products! For map links, listing of events and more, click here.

It has often been said (by our intern Annalynne) that there is only one way to improve Happy Fun in the WaterValley: move it to the beach.
