I'm super passionate about shopping local and supporting local farmers. My dad is the President of our local Farmers Market, so I dedicate a lot of my time down there talking with the farmers and volunteering at events. I also run all of the social media for the market to bring awareness to what is going on to everyone in my home town.
One of our big events is the Farm Feast every August and I create all of the marketing materials and tickets for the event. From designing the rack cards and menus, to hand-stamping all 200 tickets, it's always so much fun and a great way to take charge and design something the way I want it to be designed.
That being said, I also work with some of the farmers to help them grow their market. One farmer in particular, Sustainable Harvest Farm, works with me a lot to promote their CSA packages and spread awareness of the benefits of eating organically grown vegetables.
