I am trying to eat food that is locally grown and in season. When you eat this way you are considered a Locavore. I guess it can be considered trendy, but I feel this is the way it should be. It seems natural to eat food that is locally grown.
This salad I created yesterday contained locally grown baby fennel from Satur Farms on Long Island NY. They were soooo full of flavor and fresh.
The tomatoes from another local farm in NY are called "sungold" cherry tomatoes from Pedersen Farm.
They grow vegetables and plant and run a farm stand at the southeast tip of Lake Chautauqua.

The cucumbers were from Wells Homestead Acres, an 11th-generation farmer in Riverhead, NY. Lyle Wells grows asparagus in the spring, zucchini in the summer and squash in the autumn.
I dressed all in an EVOO and red wine vinaigrette. Delicious!
So do what you can to make your next meal a local event!
P.S. I got all these great foods from FreshDirect.Com.
