Field to Table is a joint effort of the Huron County Health Unit and the Huron County Planning and Development department. Planning and Development is seeking to stimulate economic activity at the farm level while the Health Unit is seeking to improve the nutrition of local consumers by encouraging people to eat fresh local fruits and vegetables instead of produce that may lose nutritional value by being shipped thousands of miles. About 300 packages of information have been sent out to local food producers. Still, organizers are unsure if they've been able to contact all the farm -gate sales operations and small scale food processors who sell directly to the public and are inviting others to become involved. Anyone producing food in Huron County who sells directly to the public and would like to be included in the guide can contact Cindy Fisher at the Huron County Planning and Development department at 524- 2188 or Jane Muegge at 482-5129.0 Donate a hog program going again Ontario's pork producers are once again launching the "Donate A Hog" program to ensure nutritious pork products will go to hungry Ontarians across the province. ,Paul Mistele, the pork producer spear -heading the program, challenged all farmers and agricultural industry supporters to come on -board and help support their local food bank: "All we're asking for is that you donate the market value of a hog to this program, it's easy. We've all seen hard times and this is our way to make sure we help our neighbours in need".0
