Have you looked at the great site called Get Local? It’s USP is “Let’s Get Local, Metro Vancouver!” and under the home page, there are lists of the vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood, and herbs that are currently available. They explain what “food miles” are and feature Business Alliance Members, such as Gusto Garlic. Guess what they sell!
They have a downloadable 28-page Get Local Directory that lists farmers markets, recipes, places to get seeds, articles, and adverts. It also charts what veg, etc. are available and when, in a format that’s very easy to read.
The movement has a lot of supporters, including Farm Folk/City Folk. I remember going on tours they organized years ago. Great!
Shopping locally can start with very small steps. I’m putting on my shoes.
Best of health, naturally,
Nina
