Eddie’s Energy Bars Blog

Supporting your local food producers does not have to end in September when the buying local momentum usually slows down. Some local farms have started a winter shares program where you can pick up your vegetables weekly. A local example of this is Jericho Settler’s Farm in Jericho, VT. They have a great program set up there, however all of their shares are sold out for the 2007 winter.

Some farmstands are open year round, where as others are open at least March through the end of December. Jaswell’s Farm in Smithfield, RI is amazing. They have incredible baked goods and some form of vegetables year round. Their pressed cider is probably some of the best I have ever had (I know! I usually have a bias for Vermont products, but I need to make due being down here in RI).

The important point here is to support local farmers, artisans, and bakers year round. There are incredible benefits from of buying local food, including the benefits from buying Eddie’s Energy Bars during the winter months. Our energy bars stay soft in the freezer so they are perfect to take on the slopes or cross-country trails!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
