Growing The Local Food Movement of Eastport, Maine

Eastport is a small city, it has a bustling downtown at times, there are people about town who care about each other, there is a strong community here. We know one person's gossip before they do. Everyone talks and everyone is involved with each others lives.

I feel like the local food system works so well in a community like this. Did you see the tomatoes? They're beautiful! I'll get some next week, I don't want to miss out. Where'd you get your chickens? My friend a few towns south had some extras so we took them. The family's is going to be cidering this weekend. Let's make it a party. Oh yes, let's! etc, etc little snippets of many conversations in a rural town.

The city in a rural landscape, perfect breeding ground for real food for real people. It's catching like wildfire, you could light the next match!
