Oh my gosh, her blog is making me hungry! Wow. I have a very good friend in Columbus that I visit often. I will definitely pass this on to her and keep it mind the next time I’m up there. Thanks!

Ashley,

I completely agree. Local markets are the way to go, although
I do indulge in a doritos from time to time (everything in moderation, right?).

I think you might like this site: http://www.restaurantwidow.com/

Lisa covers the markets in the Columbus, Ohio area (I know, a little out of your way).
She is a excellent writer and provides really great advice on picking produce and fabulous recipes.
And she takes excellent pictures. check her out.

Great article (and a great magazine). I’m hearing more and more about local farmers’ produce becoming more main stream. If people thought about the economics of it and the impacts it has, they may be more inclined to adjust their shopping schedule and menus to farmers markets.

Thanks Adam.

The painting drew me in on this one, and then as I read the article, I remembered reading an article on the same topic in Ode Magazine, not too long ago… http://odemagazine.com/article.php?aID=4080

(They’ve got others, too; do a search for “local food”, and you’ll get a bunch…)

It also reminds me of Eliot Coleman, and his book “Four Season Harvest”… he talks about how to grow food of your own all-year-round (and he lives in what, Vermont?)

Agreed David. The mid-west would seemingly only grow icicles in the winter months. Although I remember skimming over “winter gardens” at 100milediet.org. Still a lot of work. I’m all for it though the other 75% of the year.

This is something In the scope of my studies. While transportation and industrialization make it possible to feed the world — it comes at a cost in quality and health compared to eating local and fresh. At the same time, modernization makes food incredibly abundant and affordable — and we have wonderful choices. I’m all for the 100-mile diet — except from December thru April. If we strictly ate local all year we’d likely get tired of salted pork.
