Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Chatham-Kent

Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Chatham-Kent web map
Launch – Saturday, May 25th, 2013
@ Sunshine Asparagus, 30043 Jane Rd, Thamesville, ON.

The 2013 Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Chatham-Kent web map is ready to go. The launch of the 2013 Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Chatham-Kent map will take place on Saturday, May 25th. Location is Sunshine Asparagus, 30043 Jane Rd, Thamesville, ON, from 11-1p.m.

Everyone is welcome to come out meet some of your local producers and see what they have to offer. There will also be copies of the new web version of the 2013 Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Chatham-Kent map or check it out www.buylocalbuyfreshchathamkent.com

The group chose to update the website with a printer-friendly version of the map this year as opposed to developing a new paper copy of the map for a number of reasons. Firstly it is more environmentally friendly, allowing consumers to access the map via the internet and print off a copy if they choose. The web map will allow for more timely updates of the information as well as being much more cost effective. For those who do not have access to the website, they are welcome to contact the Kent Federation of Agriculture who will ensure they get a copy.

Due to the time of year and challenge with Mother Nature many of our local producers may be busy on their farms tending to their crops and may not be in attendance at the May 25th, kickoff, however, we are very optimistic that spring is leading us into a very productive growing season.

So, mark May 25th on the calendar and come out to Sunshine Asparagus and meet some of our local producers.
