The Best Kind of Food is Local Food

Screen Shot 2014-02-26 at 2.58.11 PMI think it is safe to say that one of the biggest food movements right now is towards local foods. People are realizing the benefits that buying local have on their local farmers, the economy and their overall health. A website called Local Harvest is doing something very interesting with the ways in which we are able to interact with our local farmers. They have created an interactive map of the United States pinpointing exactly where you can go to find farmers, food co-ops and other organic food merchants. By doing this, they are changing the way in which we consume with immediately showing us every option that we have when it comes to local food. Could we argue that maybe now there is no “I can only get to Walmart” excuse? Possibly.
