It's officially summer! Well, we made it. I know... It seemed like it would never arrive, but it's here. in addition to the beginning of summer, June also is National Dairy Month and, while we did this month's Spotlight on Pine Hill Dairy in Westport, I would urge you to have a look at our listings of dairy farms throughout the region. Of course, celebrating Dairy Month by eating local ice cream and cheese and drinking local milk all summer long is encouraged too!

 

Also, if you haven't already purchased tickets for our July 19 fundraiser with SEMALA, "Farm To Tapas", now is the time! With a multitude of local restaurants and caterers sourcing from local ingredients and bringing their creativity to the table (not to mention some stellar local wines and beers), it's going to be such a unique and fun summer event. This is one of those "can't miss" parties...so why would you miss it? Follow the link and register today!

 

That's the directors message for this month. Short and sweet! Oh, and BUY LOCAL!
