How important is it to you to buy local food? All of the rain northern Michigan has seen in recent weeks, combined with a rough winter, has put a damper on area crops -- everything from oats to tomatoes are behind schedule. One farmer in Grand Traverse County says when all is said and done, theyll have lost about a month of progress by the time their season is over in the fall or early winter. Even grapes and area wineries say the winter wasnt kind to the vines. For local farmers, the slow start means its even more critical that people buy their food once its ready to be sold. With Agriculture being such a big part of our local economies, and the farm-to-table movement stronger than ever in an effort to support local farmers, we want to know -- how important is it to you to buy local food?
