I remember learning more about the local foods movement when I was studying public health in graduate school. I got a chance to talk to farmers and learn just how much work they put in to produce foods for their local communities. I think it's so cool that different areas can specialize in different foods and crops and provide variety for us. Farmers deal with so many obstacles like weather and animals, so producing crops is not as easy as planting a seed! .

I know there are a lot of opinions around pesticides, GMO's and growing conditions, but let's take all of that out of the equation and recognize these hardworking farmers who make food for us! I'm obviously a huge proponent of buying local (when possible) and supporting the farmers however I can, even outside of farmers markets. I love that so many Charlotte restaurants now offer dishes made with local ingredients, and I'm jazzed that this farm to table movement is really gaining momentum🌶🍅🍠🥚

. (ad) Chef Kato of @upstreamclt and @walmart are partnering to highlight the importance of fresh, affordable and locally grown products that can support the farm-to-table movement in a meaningful way. Right now, Charlotte area Walmarts are showcasing local peppers from Bailey Farms as a way to show their commitment to supporting local farmers and chefs. If you like to support local, now is a great time to pick some of these local jalapeño peppers up! 🌶 And if you do, you can make this fun tropical fried rice with tomato jalapeño relish and I promise you won't regret it. 🍚
