Excellent article with links to many helpful resources. Being from the northeast, I forget sometimes that even in winter there are locally grown produce options. Thanks!

Very comprehensive and fun reading. Never mind about eating meat, though. with today’s food technology we can enjoy the taste of different meats without eating dead animals.
dont eat fish either. they are killed in a horrible manner.
let us stick to creative uses of vegs and fruits ( I do eat cheese) that are locally produced as Mary’s article espouses.
