How to Eat Local in Rochester, NY

Eating local foods is something we'll talk about in a few weeks. Why eat local foods? Bill McKibben argues that by eating local we:

1. strengthen the ties in our communities;

2. are more likely to be supporting sustainable farming practices;

3. aren't using petroleum to ship our food (food travels, on average, 1500 miles from point of production to your plate);

4. come to appreciate the place we live in and the foods we eat.
