PA Farms among the Leaders in Direct-to-Consumer Sales
In 2016, the USDA NASS (United States Department of Agriculture Nation Ag Statistic Service) conducted a “Local Food Marketing Practices Survey” to get a better picture of the direct-to-consumer sales in agriculture.
According to NASS, “the primary purpose of the Local Food Marketing Practices Survey was to produce benchmark statistics on the number of farms that market food directly, the value of these direct sales, and the marketing practices used in conjunction with direct sales”. In 2015, 167,009 farms sold $8.7 billion in food directly to consumers, local retailers, institutions, and local distributors. Direct-to-consumer sales totaled $3 billion or 35% of total direct sales. On-farm stores and farmers markets account for 67% of those direct-to-consumer sales or $2 billion nationwide. Pennsylvania ranks 4th in the nation with $439 million in direct sales behind California, Michigan, and New York. Fresh food products make up 53% of direct-to-consumer sales with Pennsylvania ranked first in the number of farms selling directly to the consumer. Eighty percent of the farms reporting sold all of their directly marketed food within a 100 mile radius of their farm. If you think about a farm you visited to buy apples, then look at a map and draw circle of a hundred mile radius from that farm, which would cover many places. Now, consider all the farms in our region who produce food marketed locally and draw the same circle around each of them. That is an impressive local food impact. The reality is that of the food dollars we spend just over 3% is on locally produced food. In other words, $3 out of every $100 of our food bill goes to food produced locally. What if we made a conscious effort to commit to spending $10 out of every $100 or 10% of our food dollars on locally produced food? Think about the impact that could have to our farms and local economy. We are in the middle of the dark days of winter but farmers still have food to offer us. Remember to visit some of the many winter farmers markets and on-farm markets in our region. Nothing like local food to brighten our moods and warm us through the winter. For more information about the survey go to www.agcensus.usda.gov.

Can You Believe It?British Woman Fined 80 Pounds for Pouring Coffee Down Drain
(UPI) -- A woman from West London was fined 80 pounds after pouring a hot cup of coffee down a street drain.
Sue Peckitt, 65, poured the coffee down the drain because she didn't like the taste and didn't want to create a "soggy mess" in the public garbage can, she told Get West London. "I had bought a cup of coffee, it wasn't very nice and I thought I want to get rid of this," she said. "So I poured it down the drain and then I started to walk to the bin to put the cup in the bin." A group of Ealing council enforcement officers then followed Peckitt and informed her she would have to pay a fine for how she chose to dispose of the beverage. "The enforcement officers stopped me and said I was breaking the law, then I filled in all the forms and they fined me 80 pounds," she said. Peckitt appealed to have the "bizarre" fine reversed shortly after it was issued in November 2016, but was unsuccessful. "I am astonished by the whole process," she said. "I think there is a big problem with litter but it is bizarre, I had put this coffee down [the drain] because it was the safe and environmentally friendly thing to do." Andrew Wiseman, of environmental law firm Harrison Grant, told the Telegraph the act of pouring the coffee down the drain may have violated laws against introducing "poisonous, noxious or polluting matter" into the drainage system, but agreed it should not warrant a fine. "If this lady just tipped coffee down the drain, it would be absolutely ludicrous to consider it as an offense," he said. The council later investigated the incident and offered Peckitt an apology and a refund on Jan. 13. "The council has investigated this particular case and will be dropping the fine originally issued," a council spokesman said. "Our priority is to make sure that the borough is clean and litter free and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused."

Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later we honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by our deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle!
Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!
