Eat Local

LocalHarvest is a great web site for finding local family farms, markets and other sources of sustainably grown food. There's also some interesting information on the cost of shipping food all over the world. Growers receive, on average, only 18 cents for every dollar you spend at the grocery store. Buying locally means that you know how the food was grown, who grew it, and have helped the environment by reducing the amount of energy used to get the food to your home. Plus nothing tastes better than fresh produce.
