  1. Eating Locally Offers Big Paybacks Tuesday, December 02, 2008

    The Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies, along with Crabtree Farms, recently released a study on the local foodshed.

    According to a release from the Ochs Center, “the study predicts that if an additional 5% of foods consumed in the region were sourced locally, the positive economic impact could reach $100 Million. This is, of course, in addition to the environmental and health benefits from eating locally grown food.”

    Eating locally couldn’t be easier. In addition to supporting restaurants that by local, community sponsored agriculture (CSA) programs make farm shareholders out of hungry residents. For a complete list of farms that provide CSAs, and to learn a little bit about how they work, visit the Crabtree Farms website.
