Are you interested in eating more locally grown, sustainably-produced foods? Diet -blog has compiled an excellent list of resources to help you get started. The links on that list will help you find local farm markets, local food co-ops, grass-fed meat and dairy products, and will also help you source locally grown foods.

Why eat locally? Here's a list from the Eat Local Challenge that outlines 10 good reasons to eat locally. Protecting the environment, eating fresher foods in season, and supporting local farmers are just a few of the reasons. Sustainably-grown foods not only support the local economy, they're also grown in a way that supports conservation and protects the Earth so that it can continue to support agriculture.

Springtime is a great time to make eating locally a habit. Farm markets and roadside stands will soon start cropping up all across the nation, the perfect opportunity to pull over and pick out some freshly picked veggies for dinner (and support a local farmer while you're at it.) Who knows, you may become hooked and never eat an imported vegetable again!
