I wanted to share a great resource on the web: The Eat Well Guide. This is a great resource for anyone trying to eat more locally. On their site you can search for local food by keyword, zip code, or city and state. The advanced search allows you to be even more specific, searching by category, food, or even production method (Heirloom or Organic for instance.)
Another neat feature is their Eat Well Everywhere map. It allows you to plan a trip to include local eats, no matter how far you roam, and then you can print it to take it with you when you’re finished.
There are some great brochures available to download on their site as well. I personally recommend Cultivating the Web (just be sure you have plenty of toner if you plan on printing it, it’s a bit graphics intense!) While you’re there, be sure to check out what others are doing on the Green Fork Blog. There’s always something interesting to read there, and links to what’s making food headlines these days.
So there’s 100 more things to read over there, but don’t take MY word for it, go check it out for yourself!
I’m a local foodie living in the woods on 5 acres in middle TN, homeschooling my 3 girls while raising chickens & rabbits, gardening organically, hanging out at the farmers market, and building a local food website in my spare time.
