\u201clocal\u201d food into the hands of consumers is constantly evolving.\u201d\u00a0 states Ben Davies, owner of Wild Fox Farm.\u00a0 \u201cAs farmers we need to find ways to be in touch with our consumers to find out how we can get more local food into their hands directly from the farms as opposed to a grocery store or food delivery service.\u00a0 Times are fast and people are busy.\u00a0 Our goal is to get a better understanding from the consumers themselves at our two forums but also to collect feedback through our online survey that we can then share with the Lehigh Valley farmer population.\u00a0 We want consumers to come to us so we need to be diligent in listening to them and what works for their lifestyles.\u201d continues Davies.<\/p>\n<p>To register for either or both
