NRDC's Simple Steps - Eat Local

Like the idea of eating seasonal produce grown on regional farms but wonder what's in season near you this week? Use this website's easy search tools to find out. One map shows which produce is in season throughout the U.S., while the other one allows you to search for Farmers' Markets near you. For example, when I clicked on North Carolina from the U.S. map, this led me to a month-by-month list of produce that I could find locally.

Other links allow you to click on individual produce items, where you can learn more about them and find great recipes with which to prepare them.

This is a great online resource that was recently passed along to me (thanks, Austin!), and I highly recommend checking it out.
