After spending some time living outside of North Carolina, I realized that what I missed most about the state was all the wonderful food! Sure there is great food to be had everywhere, but I really missed the tang of fresh artisan-made goat cheese and the sweetness of ripe tomatoes and blueberries in the summertime and all the wonderful greens and sweet potatoes in the winter. I missed knowing that my baker cares as much about quality and sustainability as much as I do (I really missed knowing my baker).
After returning to the Triangle , I really wanted to celebrate all that I missed while I was gone by purchasing as much from local vendors as possible and creating a greater awareness of the importance of investing in our community through supporting farmers and local producers within Central North Carolina.
