Let’s Celebrate the Coming Farmers Market Season!

Dear Agriculture,

Help Save Local Farms, Food, and
Farmers Markets

How better to celebrate the summer season than with fresh food from local farmers? To celebrate the spring growing season, last year we offered supporters like you the No Farms No Food tote bag to carry home your delicious local foods. This year, we have an extra special offer to inspire you to prepare wonderful dishes with foods that are fresh from the market.

Give a gift today to support our work to support local farms and food and protect our precious farmland. With a donation of $50 or more you will receive Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America’s Farmers Markets, signed by author Deborah Madison!

This summer we are doubling our efforts to improve the outlook for local farms and farmland.  To succeed, we need local food enthusiasts like you to show their support now for the land that sustains us. Your support will help us continue to stand in the way of needless development, fight for better policies for our farms, food and environment, and create sustainable food and agriculture plans for our communities.

Donate today, before another acre is lost at the alarming rate of two acres lost per minute. For your generous giftenjoy a signed copy of Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America’s Farmers Markets knowing that you helped keep farmers on the land, and land available to supply fresh food to farmers markets!

Sincerely,
