A Few Good Thank Yous

It is awesome.  Taking time to thank a local farmer, restaurant, brewery/winery, or grocery store that cares about the environment.  I love it.

I've added pictures of a few of the thank you notes that I wrote with Katy to thank people who do this.  It really builds a sense of community.  Honestly, when is the last time that you thanked your farmer?  Or brewer?  You don't get a chance to do that very often.  But, this simple gesture means more than you could know.

I recommend everyone does this at least once a year.  Even it if it just one person.  It builds a connection to someone that you might not have already.  But, it motivates and appreciates the people that, honestly, motivate me and that I appreciate.  To Linda Proffitt at Global Peace Initiatives, Pogue's Run Grocer, Sun King Brewery, Three Sister's Cafe, Trader's Point Creamery, and Butler Winery, THANK YOU for all that you do for the local food movement and the community in tow.  You are amazing.
