On Farming and the Importance of Locally Grown Food

"Living off the land has been a way of life for Linda Beaudoin ever since she was a little girl. It’s where Beaudoin feels at home and - when she leaves - she misses it even more.

"'After living in Boston for four years while in college, I realized I had to come back because I missed the open space and fresh air.'

". . . Beaudoin, a second grade teacher at Immanuel Lutheran parochial school in Bristol, said farming in Connecticut is alive and well. The public, she said in a recent interview from the family farm, is more health conscious today and understands that locally grown fruits and vegetables are best."

A recent New Britain Herald article profiled Ms. Beaudoin, her love of farming, and her belief in the importance of locally grown food.
