Community Support Agriculture and local Farmers Markets have such a positive impact on our economy and the health of our society, and dining at restaurants which feature such produce is a great way to support the cause.

Hi this is @ThoughtsHappen from Twitter – I finally made it over to your blog. I love the whole local foods idea. We’ve been subscribing to a Community Supported Agriculture farm in San Diego called Be Wise Ranch for about 4 years now and love to visit the farmer’s market as well.

I wrote about San Diego CSA’s in an article you can find at http://www.louisejulig.com/2005/11/community-supported-agriculture-brings-the-farm-to-you.html . We also dined last summer at a wonderful restaurant in Paso Robles called Artisan – http://www.artisanpasorobles.com/ – that serves all organic and mostly locally grown food – what a treat. Thanks for sharing!

The advent of using local produce is very exciting in this modern age, as many have been raised on commercially grown and prepackaged food – you were very fortunate Bethany!

This is a great post! I grew up eating produce from our farm and I am always trying my best to cook with local produce. I agree that it’s just as important to make these choices when dining out! Thank you

Thank you Jeremy, you’re right in pointing out that living a life based on respect includes both human rights and how we interact with the planet.

Global Patriot, I love how your blog combines the call for Global Patriotism and ubiquitous respect for human rights and equality with locally sourced food and the people who champion its use. The two go hand in hand… After all, both are equally ideological gestures. Keep up the good stuff…

It’s great that so many restaurants are supporting the cause of local and organic food – our choice of where to dine matters!

I was just talking to my boyfriend about the importance of eating local, so your post is both well timed and well received. Thanks for the reminder to dine out the same way we shop.

From the beginning I've enjoyed reading Kang's London Eater blog, as he brings such insight into the UK food scene, from restaurants to local markets.

Great post. I was in UK almost 2 years ago and I wish I had this post I mean I had a great time, but this post gave me a different point of view.
Thank you,
