Tips to Eat Local in 2026

We’re kicking off 2026 with something special. Bill was invited onto FOX5 DC on New Year’s Eve to talk about how eating local can improve your health, strengthen your community, and reconnect you to the place you live.

In this short five-minute segment, Bill shares why local food matters—from supporting farmers and small businesses to creating jobs and keeping dollars circulating close to home. He also dives into one of our favorite topics: wild-fermented sourdough, and why it may be one of the most “local” foods you can eat.

Our sourdough isn’t just made in Chestertown—it’s shaped by it. Fermented with local wild yeasts and bacteria unique to this place, each loaf carries the true terroir of our region.

This segment is a powerful reminder that small, everyday food choices add up—to better health, stronger communities, and a deeper connection to where we live.
