All About Farm to Table
Farm to Table food as a movement is all about knowing where your food comes from – not just “from the store” but where it originated. When we buy food from our local farmer’s markets, produce stands, or coops, we get an idea of where it was grown or raised. Even better if we can grow or raise it ourselves. This used to be true of nearly everything we consumed.
Growing your own food is incredibly rewarding, and a passion of mine. I love picking fresh herbs right outside my kitchen door to up the flavor ante in my food.
If gardening isn’t your thing, or you don’t have the time or space for it, you have options. Here are some ideas for best enjoying the recipes associated with the Farm to Table Meal Plan:
- Shop locally – find a farmer’s market near you
- Join a food coop – find a food coop near you
- Shop seasonally – discover the best season in which to buy your produce
