Dear Editor,
As a newbie to Orion, I wanted to express my gratitude for promoting awareness (as is Orion’s practice) of buy local. When you consider the pros/cons of global products with their artificially enhanced delayed ripening process when we have a plethora of local farm products; when you consider a healthier more flavorful eating lifestyle – we have the choice to make the logical choice! Thank you.
On another note, What the Body Knows by Joni Tevis took my breath away. Having lived/volunteered in Sitka, AK for a year, the realism of the vast area that is Alaska was appreciated. The passionate depth of observation in her writing is amazing – along with the “surprise†contained therein. All the articles deserve praise, but thank you Joni.
