Welcome to the April 7, 2008 edition of Farmers Market Fare. The timing of this carnival’s opening edition just as our nation honors the fortieth anniversary of Martin Luther King’s death, took on more meaning for me as I read Wendell Berry’s essay, “Think Little.†Published thirty-eight years ago, the essay explains Berry’s idea that the struggle for peace, equality and environmental awareness are all three waged against the same enemy — the mentality of greed and exploitation. The words still hold much truth as we continue to struggle for these goals. Think Little is about each one of us and our responsibility for our own actions.
Thank you all for “thinking little†and “thinking local†food sources, taking personal action to make your world a better, healthier place.
