You never know where Local Food will show up!





We stumbled upon this Local Food cowboy hat at the Canfield Fair on Friday. http://www.canfieldfair.com/index.html It was part of a display put on by the Ohio Farm Bureau. Each Ohio county Farm Bureau submitted an artistic version of a cowboy hat representing their county agricultural heritage. Fairgoers vote on their favorite hat. The Portage County entry headlined "Buy Local".


A couple of other sights that you're not likely to see often are the Grange competitions with their fresh & canned food displays and the local orchard apple variety classes. Look at the variety of apples available ...... beautiful! http://www.ohioapples.org/ohio_apple_orchards_by_county.php
Also, a nice detail shot of pepper varieties from the Grange display.
