First Post for Eat Local Food

Hi, I've been entertaining the idea of starting a blog, and now I've gone ahead and done it. Join us as we talk about a subject my wife, Joan, and I have a lot of passion about: local food. About 3 years ago, while on vacation, we came up with the idea of using fine art to market local food. It didn't hurt that we were sitting in an artist's house at the time. The artist was none other than Chris Witkowski, world famous food artist and even more importantly, Joan's sister. The business has grown steadily and we are excited to be able to use blogspot to keep you informed.

The company we created is called Eat Local Food and it is a local food marketing and art design company. Products and services include customized marketing merchandise, logo, business card and brochure design, and marketing tips for food retailers, cooperative grocers, farmers markets, CSAs (community supported agriculture), agricultural destinations (wineries, farms, orchards), restaurants, schools and hospitals.

There is such a need for this! More people should enjoy the food that is close to home, especially considering the price of gas!

I think you guys have really hit on something! The artwork is beautiful and the timing is great with the growing popularity of local farmer's markets. If you haven't already gotten hooked up yet with the Plymouth Farmer's market, I would suggest looking into that -- great area. Also, Northville's farmer's market would be a good place too, and it takes place on Thursdays, kind of an off day for most markets. Good Luck to you!
