Support a Local Business and Strengthen the Economy

What's going on in small towns across America?

There is a movement in the United States to support local businesses as we head out of this recession. This can come in the form of eating at a local restaurant, visiting a small shop for part of your grocery list, or buying gifts at small brick and mortar shops. The habit of shopping online (or at a Big Box store) for the best deal is something that is woven into our culture. This is not something that I see going away since we have to stretch every paycheck further.

One thing I've noticed in the Boston area is people talking about restaurants that serve local food. Sel de la Terre  owns and operates their own farm. Tremont 647 works very hard to run a sustainable restaurant. They compost onsite, they buy local and only serve local seafood. These are two examples of Boston-area restaurants where the chef/owner makes that extra effort to buy from the local economy.

 

Dreaming of Local Food

This past fall I spent a week in Northern California. California has farmer's markets year-round and there is a culture of buying fresh and local (since they have 3 growing seasons). Many of the restaurant owners and chefs have gardens to grown their own produce, herbs, and flowers. I went to several places where the chef had a garden right outside. After a week of being spoiled I came back to New England thinking how easy it is for a chef to garden or support their local farmer's market. I have a friend in Rhode Island that frequents a winter farmer's market. There are also winter CSAs that exist at some of the local farms.

 

Happy Anniversary to the 3/50 Project!

One project that has been featured in the news in recent months is the 3/50 Project. This project began 1 year ago! They just started a new campaign this week called 'Eat Down the Street'. This campaign is the effort to eat one time per week at a local restaurant that you would hate to see go away. Is there a local bistro, coffee shop, bakery, gift shop, or farm stand that really has become a part of your life? Maybe you've gotten to know the owners or it is a lunch spot you go to each month just to hang out. Is there a merchant that you want to give a shout out to and let them know that they are doing a great job? Let us know, we'd love to hear about the local businesses that you support!
