The Award-Winning Shop Local, Save Land Guide
The Delaware Highlands Conservancy—a local land trust working with willing landowners to protect the natural and cultural heritage of the Upper Delaware River watershed—proudly announces publication of its second annual edition of the award-winning Shop Local, Save Land guide to farms and farmers’ markets in Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties, in Pennsylvania. Click here for full project description.
Shop Local, Save Land is an attractive, easy-to-use guide that connects local residents and visitors to our region to the farms, farmers markets, and farm stands that produce and sell fresh, healthy, and local foods. Supporting our family farms and local agricultural businesses strengthens the small businesses of our local economy and invests us all in maintaining the beautiful agricultural lands so vital to our rural quality of life. And when we shop local, we eat healthier, too!
The Shop Local, Save Land guide has grown tremendously since last year. The 20-page 2009 guide includes helpful information about farms, farmers’ markets and farm stands, and community gardens that produce and sell local agricultural products. It includes a keyed map for easy navigation.
The 2009 guide also features profiles and photos of some of the innovative businesses and organizations whose generous support helped to make this year’s guide possible, including:
Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau
John and Helen Villaume Foundation
Wayne County Community Foundation
