10 Steps to Becoming a Locavore

As Audrey and I are continuing to research growing local and eating in season, I found “10 Steps to Becoming a Locavore” easy to read and straightforward. The article was from PBS by the author Jennifer Maiser. She is the editor of a website called “Eating Local Challenge” which has some great resources to help people begin to eat local. She also makes eating local sound feasible when she explains “The great thing about eating local is that it's not an all-or-nothing venture. Any small step you take helps the environment, protects your family's health and supports small farmers in your area.” Most of the steps in her list of 10 have links to help people get started on their local food journey, whether it be finding local farms to visit or finding CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) sign-ups near you. From going to your local farmer’s markets to finding restaurants around you that use local food, Maiser’s list of locavore possibilities made eating local sound appealing and easy to start doing.
