TAKE ACTION NOW

Ask your local market to start carrying more local produce options. Even if they can do it only in the summer months, it’s an easy way to green up your cart and freshen the flavor (plus no additional trekking to the farmers’ market).

Join a local CSA to ensure that a portion of your produce is grown locally. Visit www.localharvest.org to find the CSA or farmers’ market nearest you.

Log on to www.fieldtoplate.com, click on “Resources,” and download a copy of your own state’s Seasonal Look Up Guide. Tape it to a door in your kitchen or somewhere in your pantry and get to know the seasons in your area.

Check out the seasonal menus starting on page 228 and pick the lean and green eating plan that is in season right now.

Log on to Harvest Eating (www.harvesteating.com) for super-easy and delicious recipes to help you make the leap from farm to table. You can download seasonal recipes, see what’s growing in your area right now, and watch videos to brush up on your culinary skills.

Keep your notions of “localism” less than puritanical. People in some parts of America can do it easily in 50 to 100 miles, while others may need to loosen that to 200 or so. Look within your town, then your state, then even your general region to scout out produce options.
