Buon Terra Madre Day

On this day,  Slow Food's Terra Madre Day, people all around the world are celebrating their own unique food sheds; supporting the good, clean, and fair foods and producers that are important to their communities.

Here in Wisconsin, we can celebrate the raw milk cheeses, heirloom winter squashes, antique apples, like the rare Milwaukee Apple that keep our agricultural traditions alive.  We can celebrate wild things too--venison, blackberries, hazelnuts, wild rice...  I'll be heading over to the winter farmer's market to pick up a few things like fairy winter squash, golden russet apples, red wattle pork salami and then will , and Saxon cheeses to share them with loved ones today and throughout the holidays.  You can check out how people are celebrating, in over 120 countries at the Terra Madre day website.
