Backyard Locavore Day Previewed in Press Herald Blog

The fifth annual Backyard Locavore Day hosted by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension in Cumberland County was previewed in the latest entry of the Portland Press Herald blog “The Root: Dispatches from Maine’s food sources.” The event is a self-guided tour of multiple gardens in Cumberland County on Saturday, Aug. 10, that is designed to educate people about do-it-yourself strategies for becoming a locavore, or someone who eats food grown or produced locally.
