Comment on The Dogdays of summer and a complete list of farmers markets in NC! by Margaret Shelton

The farmers market location guide will be ever changing, with new ones coming on line and a few fading away over time. I applaud your efforts. I am working with Southeastern NC Food Systems Council. We have compiled a list of the farmers’ markets in our area (the nine southeastern NC counties) and having this information available on the website: http://www.feastsoutheastnc.org/directory/. As this season is drawing to an end we need to do some modifications to this list. There will be additions for next year. Some local markets have closed for the season and others will run through the week before Christmas, and some are yet to decide on a closing date.

Thank you for all your information. Please add me to your email list. Margaret Shelton

The TUFS group sounds interesting. Please keep me posted. I’m a big fan of Charlie Thompson, remembering him from the days when he had a blueberry farm in Chatham County.

By the way, I hope you’ll check out the new Sustainable Grub page on Facebook.

Best,
Dee

[...] One aim of the project that we are currently working on intensively is researching the intersection of local food systems and community economic development in eight different counties. Chatham County has been identified as an area with a strong local, sustainable food system (not a big surprise to readers of this blog) that showcases community economic development resulting from their food shed. We’re now in the process of interviewing leaders within organizations, farmers, business owners, agriculture extension agents and others to hear how they believe Chatham’s local food system is playing a role in their economy.
