With the celebration of Independence Day only a few days away, let us remember that our Nations heritage is steeped in Community & Local Farms. We talk so much about sustainability, but with that, we must also realize the foundations of that., is our ability to feed ourselves. At the turn of the last Century the valley we overlook here at our farm was the prominent supplier of fresh produce for the City of Greensburg. As a child I use to know what time it was late afternoon by the sounds of the local Dairy Farms getting ready to do their late day milking. Now there are no dairies left on Rt 66 between Greensburg & Delmont, & our farm is the last of the full time farm operations. For the size of the local population there is a great need to have more growers & consumers who are aware of the need to support & utilize Local Farms. For it our communities can’t support themselves, in stable times, we will have no communities in the future.
