I have been trying hard to eat local foods as much as I can. I have come to realize that it isn’t as easy as I thought it was! Diane Welland has put together a very useful resource for anyone trying to eat a little bit closer to home. The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Eating Local is chock full of so much information your head will be swimming by the time you finish reading it! I highly recommend this book and you should also check out my post on how to support local farmers to encourage them to keep growing food close to home. If you enjoy drinking raw milk, local farmers are a must!

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Local
Eating Local Review:
From the Publisher:
There are so many great reasons to shop for and eat locally grown or raised foods, including freshness, taste, energy conservation, and supporting small business owners. That is why tens of thousands have made the switch to local foods. Now families and communities are enthusiastically supporting farmer’s markets, artisan dairy farmers, cheese makers, family farms, local vineyards, and local livestock. Food expert and nutritionist Diane A. Welland explains what local eating is and isn’t and how anyone can move toward a more sustainable way of eating

Looks like a great book. I’m going to have to get this one.
Sounds like a good read. Personally, I’m a farmer’s market junkie!
Sounds like a great book. Whenever I go to the local farmers market I buy too much stuff and some of it goes to waste…. sad!
Neat! We have a lot of farms out here on the East End of Long Island. I don’t think being a NY locavore in the winter would be so healthy but during the summer and fall it is definitely a great option! We have goat cheese, greens, berries, potatoes, and, oh, yes, WINE! I’m so glad I have become a regular visitor to your site!
