Know your farmer, know your food; an ode to eating local and staying healthy

There is something to be said for being able to trace where your food comes from and know it is well taken care of before it gets to your kitchen.  The health benefits of eating food that comes from a farm and not a processor are exponential.  Knowing your farmer and your food is an ode to eating local and staying healthy.

Agreed! I live in college town, hippieville Berkeley, so eating local is huge here, and one of the most popular restaurants in town, Chez Panisse, bases their whole restaurant off of this practice.  Do you shop at a lot of farmers markets?  Thanks for sharing!

   Yes I regularly watched the show, only because I thought Alyssa Milano was hot.        Exhibit A:            I was a teenager then. My English was getting better and I was learning to become American. My relationship with my parents deteriorated since they have remained very much Chinese.

Just went to Berkeley's Farmers Market yesterday (sorry @devora!) with a chef friend of mine that was visiting and wanted to cook for us....in a few words, I was in heaven. Unlike other Farmer's Markets with just a few stands with everyone carrying the same thing and some craft and food vendors, Berkeley is truly a Farmer's Market. I bought some amazing bread, Quark, tomatoes, and the herbs are to die for! Affordable and fresh food while supporting local farms? WIN! A big plus, each vendor seemed …

I am an NPR Junkie. I love to Travel, Explore and be outside. I am serious, yet witty, un pretentious and kind. A wealthy spirit is more important to me than a healthy portfolio.

About this food

Wiki

Local food (also regional food or food patriotism) or the local food movement is a "collaborative effort to build more locally based, self-reliant food economies - one in which sustainable food production, processing, distribution, and consumption is integrated to enhance the economic, environmental and social health of a particular place" and is considered to be a part of the broader sustainability movement. It is part of the concept of local purchasing and local economies, a preference to buy locally produced goods and services. Those who prefer to eat locally grown/produced food sometimes call themselves locavores or localvores.
