More on eating local

After posting the previous entry I stumbled upon two links that are related to the whole “eat local” movement. The first, Pick Your Own, a website that includes local farms with you-pick options. It only takes seconds to find the closest farms near you.

The second find is a Time photo essay, What the World Eats (via kottke). In the essay an individual family is shown with the foods they eat in a span of a week. The photographer captures fifteen different homes from around the globe. I’ve been trying to picture my family with the kinds of foods I grew up on. Right now the image is of miles and miles of meat and potatoes with canned vegetables on the side.

Update: Local Harvest is another great site for finding farms near you.
