Eat Local/Local Harvest

As I continue this week I am still focusing on local sustainable food and sources of food. Tonight I will highlight two websites/organizations that I have come across in my now daily trek through the world of environmental sustainability.

The first site is a local Seattle company called Eat Local. I have not tried them but I found their information on the website very intriguing and I am motivated to try it some this summer. I joined their online newsletter while on their site so I will get information sent to me which will be a helpful reminder to try them out. They prepare meals and desserts and sell them to customers frozen, just needing to heated and enjoyed.

I feel like an advertisement and all of this information is on their site but I think it is worth repeating here too: they use Northwest farmed, organic or sustainably grown produce, grass-fed and finished meats, free range chicken, meals are hand made and available in BPA-free biodegradable packaging or reusable glass containers. I recommend exploring the foods from Pastas to Fish to Desserts and more!

OK, now onto part 2 of the post - I found another great source of sustainable local food information but this website is helpful for those all across the US! The site is called Local Harvest and they have information about local farms, farmers markets, restaurants and grocery stores that use and sell local sustainable foods. I like providing these resources and allowing you to explore them because that is what I am doing.

I spend some time poking around each of these sites, usually learning a lot in the process. Local Harvest also has a great directory of blogs from Local Harvest members and a newsletter with extensive archives. There is so much more to share about this site I can't type any more I just invite you to check it out on your own.
