We live in interesting times. Neither hunter nor gatherer in the traditional sense, yet both in a contemporary sense. Armed with Google, a GPS device, or both, we can track and find much of what is locally available.
Here is my current list of places to find out where to find local food:
– Eat Well Guide. Search for local foods by entering a zip code and mileage.
– Connecticut Farm Map. Intended to be the online companion to the paper map.
– BuyCTGrown. Search by item, zip code, and mileage.
– Eat Wild. Find grass-fed food.
– CT Northeast Organic Farming Association Farms. Includes Farmer’s Market information.
– DOAG Diversified Dairy Farms in Connecticut.
– Local Harvest.
– Pick Your Own.
– CT Farm Fresh. Farmers’ markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area. Includes a catalog for items you cannot find locally.
– Connecticut Wine Trail.
– Edible Nutmeg. A quarterly newsletter that celebrates the harvest of the Nutmeg state. Publication includes directories.
– City Seed Farmer’s Markets.
– Farm & Food. A New York Resource. (A significant portion of my foodshed lies in NY.)
