A few years ago, a backyard barbecue changed the way I think about food. I took a bite of a "high-quality" grocery store burger, and it just tasted... wrong. Even my dog was hesitant to eat it. That moment led me down a path of considering where our food really comes from and why the cheap option often costs us more.
Now, with the government opening the door to cheap, foreign-sourced meat, our local farmers are facing an unfair battle. But instead of getting angry at the news, I think we have a powerful opportunity to make a difference for our nation. Right in our own kitchens.
It’s time to vote with your wallet. It's time to feed our families with the highest quality food while supporting a backbone of our nation, our local farmers.
