Farm to Table
Thursday, August 14, 2008 at 12:56PM Just a few links that we found interesting with regards to “Going Local”:
Local Thrives.
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 12:17PM As some readers may know one of n2’s New Years resolution’s was to eliminate as many processed foods from our diet and focus on eating more healthy using as many “local” food choices as I could. In the lovely land of Loudoun, we are quite blessed with so many options for finding fresh produce, dairy and organic ingredients. Just yesterday, I received in the mail the listing for all the local farmers markets, CSA’s and farm stands. So I thought I would gather together put together a listing of Loudoun and other local markets for you to consider. If you are outside the DC area, check out Local Harvest for locations. Or visit Raw DC for even more selections. District of Columbia ADAMS MORGAN FARMERS MARKET Columbia Road and 18th Street NW.
