Farms: Arizona and Yuma Farm Bureau Celebrate Food Check-Out Week and Local Foods!

As they have done for the past decade and a half, farmer and rancher members of Arizona Farm Bureau will reach out to Arizona families in their communities during Food Check-Out Week (Feb. 19-25, 2012). The official theme of the week is "Stretching Your Grocery Dollar With Healthy, Nutritious Food." The theme reflects the continuing reality that many Americans are feeling an economic squeeze and as a result, prepare more meals at home. To help stretch your food dollar go to Arizona Farm Bureau's www.fillyourplate.org.
