The 177th Lorain County Fair
What consumers can do to support local farmers
Farming has never been a vocation for individuals looking for easy work. Farmers typically
work long hours, braving the elements regardless of how unpleasant the weather may be.
All that hard work ensures individuals who live in rural, urban and suburban communities
have constant, readily available access to healthy foods. Such devotion merits support, and
thankfully there are many things consumers can do to show their appreciation for local farmers.
· Buy fresh foods at your local farmers market. Farmers markets are many foodies' favorite
places, but they aren't exclusive to individuals with a passion for food. Everyone needs to eat,
so why not eat foods grown locally, which are generally more fresh and appetizing
than imported fruits and vegetables sold at chain grocery stores? Even
individuals who don't typically eat fresh fruit and vegetables can
find something delectable at a local farmers market, where
anything from homemade to- mato sauces to locally raised
fresh beef and pork might be on sale.
· Order directly from local farms. Some farmers have

or 330-721-0680 farmers. This may include fruits, vegetables, meat, pork, or even desserts like pies. Locally pro-
duced foods often taste more fresh than items sent from overseas or distant farms, and consumers
will feel better knowing they helped to support local farmers.
· Spread the word. Get the word out after a satisfying experience with local farms and farmers.
Whether it's buying food from farms or taking advantage of family days that let kids enjoy a day
on the farm, sharing positive experiences via social media or word-of-mouth can be a great way
to inspire your neighbors to support local farmers as well.

is lost to evaporation, and less water overall may be needed to
provide for crops.
Plasticulture
Plastic seems like it may not have a purpose on the farm,
but recycled plastic, which is used in plastic mulch, can help
produce plentiful crops with less water. Plastic mulches raise
soil temperatures and insulate against evaporation so plants can
grow faster and mature sooner. Invasive weeds also may be less
likely to take root in plastic mulch or when crops are grown on
black plastic.
Natural pesticides
Farmers can introduce plants that pests tend not to like to re-
duce reliance on chemical pesticides. For example, interspers-
ing crops with natural bug repellants, such as basil, lavender
and lemongrass, may keep insects at bay. Alliums, chrysanthe-
mums, marigolds, and other flowers planted nearby also may
deter bugs.
Green farming is something more agricultural operations
may want to adopt.
Favorite fair foods
State and county fair season has arrived, and that means there
will be rides and games galore. While many people are drawn
to fairs by the entertainment, just as many are willing to stand
in line for the unique and tasty foods that seem to embody fair
and carnival fun.
If it can be served on a stick or deep fried, chances are you
can find it at a fair. Everything from chocolate-dipped bacon to
deep-fried butter may turn up on fair stand menus. The follow-
ing are some of the more coveted foods revelers can expect to
find at their local fairs and carnivals.
· Funnel cake: Funnel cake and it’s close cousin, zeppole,
have long been fair favorites. Topped with powdered sugar,
funnel cakes can be pulled apart and shared with others.
· Corn dogs: Like funnel cakes, corn dogs have become so
synonymous with fairs and carnivals that few people have ever
enjoyed them anywhere outside of their local fairgrounds.
· French fries: French fries are a favorite at fairs, and carni-
val-goers can choose from savory shoestrings to hearty steak-
cut potato chunks.
· Cotton candy: What fair would be complete without a cot-
ton candy vendor? Cotton candy is made by heating up gran-
ulated sugar until it is liquified enough to be blown into thin
threads. Those threads are collected and wound into a sweet
treat that is loved by kids and adults alike.
· Anything on a stick: Each year fair vendors experiment
with culinary oddities that can be served on a stick. One day it
may be skewered pork chops and the next a sleeve of cookies.

How to use diet to combat
age-related bodily changes
that can affect your health
The human body is a marvel. How the body transforms over
the course of an individual’s life is one of its more remarkable
qualities, and those changes never cease, even as individuals
near retirement age.
The changes associated with aging include physical trans-
formations but also more subtle shifts the naked eye cannot see.
For example, metabolism slows as individuals grow older, and
aging also can lead to a decrease in bone density and muscle
mass. These changes affect how men and women at or nearing
retirement age should approach their diets in recognition of the
various ways their nutritional needs change at this point in their
lives. Any modifications to a diet should first be discussed with
a physician, but the following are some ways aging adults can
use diet to combat age-related changes to their bodies.
• Prioritize protein. The authors of a 2010 study published
in the journal Current Opinion in Nutrition and Metabolic Care
recommended that older adults consume between 25 and 30
grams of protein with each meal. The researchers behind the
study concluded that such consumption could limit inactivi-
ty-mediated losses of muscle mass and function.
• Overcome reduced production of vitamin D. WebMD
notes that people over 65 typically experience a decrease in nat-
ural production of vitamin D. Vitamin D is not naturally found
in many foods, so aging men and women may need to rely on
supplementation to ensure their bodies get enough of it. Vita-
min D helps with anti-inflammation, immune system support
and muscle function, among other benefits. So it’s vital that
aging men and women find ways to get sufficient vitamin D.
• Consume ample dietary fiber. The National Resource Cen-
ter on Nutrition & Aging notes that fiber plays an important role
in the health of older adults. Fiber has been linked with heart
health, healthy digestion, feeling full, and preventing constipa-
tion, which the online medical resource Healthline notes is a
common health problem among the elderly. Though the NRC-
NA notes that older adults need slightly less fiber than their
younger counterparts, it’s still a vital component of a nutritious
diet. The feeling of fullness that fiber consumption can provide
also is significant, as it can ensure adults who aren’t burning as
many calories as they used to aren’t overeating in order to feel
satisfied. That can make it easier for such adults to maintain a
healthy weight.
• Monitor intake of vitamin B12. The NRCNA notes that
vitamin B12 is involved in a host of important functions in the
