Eating Local

During the last few years there has been a great movement all across the country (and even in other countries) for  ”eating local”.  More and more people have begun to realize that food trucked cross-country not only loses nutrients, but does not  taste as good as locally-grown food – not to mention the environmental impact trucking great distances leaves.

Small Farmer’s Markets have been popping up in cities and towns, and many cities have encouraged “community gardening” by promoting the use of abandoned vacant lots for gardens.

In my local community there are about 5 or 6 of these Farmer’s  Markets – many of whom offer organically grown produce and meat.  Most of the 4 and 5 star restaurants in the area buy from these markets so that their patrons can enjoy the benefits of  ”eating local”.

But, for those of us who are unable to plant a garden, what to do?  I believe a partial  answer lies in Indoor Vegetable Gardening!

’til later
