September is Eat Local Month at Sustainable Connections!  They’ve taken this month to highlight the variety of farms, fisheries, restaurants, markets, and food producers that make the fresh, local food we get to enjoy.

Look for the Eat Local First window decal at participating restaurants, markets, and retailers to know that business is dedicated to sourcing food grown, raised, caught, or made in Washington State.

Plus, check out the Farm to Table Trails and see, in person, how local ingredients get from farms, farmers markets, and farmstands to our tables at home (and at restaurants)
