This year I got to visit the Autumn Hills Orchard in Groton, Massachusetts. Once I got there I feel in love with the scenery of the apple farm. There were so many beautiful trees with different apples and, of course, I was ready to eat! Honestly I can’t describe the farm but the pictures I took there can.
I was happy I got to share the moment with Bob, Jen, Lincoln, and Michael while I was there. I learned how apple is picked, the equipment they used, where they store it and so much more! I also got to taste this huge apple, but it was not anything I can’t handle! At the end of the tour, the guys and I got nice warm cider and tasty pastries to finish the day off. The day couldn’t have gone better!

We had a fabulous Eat In, Act Out week this year! Groups from across the United States held 97 events to celebrate local farmers and raise awareness of local food. In Massachusetts, several organizations worked to record over $25,000 that people pledged to spend on local food. Find a list of all the events at www.thefoodproject.org/eatlocal. Below, we’re posting stories and pictures from events. Add a comment with your stories or send them in to us!
I can’t thank you enough for your support of Eat In, Act Out. I set up a Whole Foods Market tent at 3 Farmer’s Markets last week (Medway, Cohasset and Hopkinton MA) and helped to spread the word “Eat Local!” I love your signage, stickers and buttons! The energy at the events was so positive and I’m already looking forward to next year!
