Terra Madre
In October of 2004, Herbally Yours traveled to Turin, Italy to participate in the first ever Terra Madre: World Meeting of Food Communities. Terra Madre established a forum for those who seek to grow, raise, catch, create, distribute and promote food in ways that respect the environment, defend human dignity and protect the health of consumers. Terra Madre was a gathering of an unprecedented scale, drawing 5000 people from dozens of nations. All participants were members of a 'Food Community' - which means they are part of a chain of production, linked by a common product, ethnic identity, region, history, or approach. Participants in Terra Madre met to exchange ideas and solutions about how to promote a healthy, dynamic, and diverse food system.

The management is wonderful and the health department is wonderful, because they’re strict,”Vitalo said, citing a problem in some other Chicago areas with what he called“fake farmers markets,” where vendors resell non-locally grown foods. That’s not the case in Oak Park, where village staff goes so far as to pay occasional visits to vendors’ farms to ensure they walk their talk and are using sustainable practices.
Not only does Vitalo praise the market’s management, he’s also done well doing business there. “This market paid for my daughter’s high school, college and grad school to become a special ed teacher,” he said.
