And, yes, we homesteaders get a nod. This is the last paragraph of  
the article:

But before locavores take too much credit for the phenomenon, there  
are a bunch of back-to-the-landers in Vermont who ate local foods 30  
years ago. “There are a lot of people here who call themselves  
yokelvores,” Ms. McDermott said. “They get their food from within 100  
feet of their homes — homesteaders who have their own cows, chickens  
and grow their own vegetables. They consider people like us as Johnny- 
come-latelies.”
