Link Love 1

Whenever possible I plan to link to websites - sites for merchants that I patronize, resources that help with the quest to eat local, inspirational material. I think I'm off to a good start. Obviously a lot of my links will be local to West Michigan - and that won't do you much good if you stumbled across this blog from California. Oh well. This isn't rocket science.

While I'm thinking about it, here are a couple other links for your perusal:

Epic Organic: My invisible internet pal Shelly also has a blog about quest to eat organic and local food. She's definitely part of my inspiration for blogging on this subject - if only so I don't clutter her blog with too many comments. I don't know about her quest to add pureed veggies to everything, but hey, to each their own! Go read.

Life is Fare: I randomly stumbled across this blog, written by Marcia Davis of Grand Rapids. She's a writer, a self-described foodie and she has posts on a variety of subjects related to the local food movement. Also very much worth the time. Her post today links to a seasonal ingredient map put out by epicurious - how useful!

West Michigan Co-Op: The site of an idea that should exist everywhere. A co-operative of local farmer and producers. You place orders from a huge list of products on offer and on the designated pickup day (I think it's once a month) you pick up your goodies. Simple. Easy. I don't belong - YET - as I live 45 minutes away and for now I can get what I need at the Sweetwater market. But I may try it out this summer once Saturday mornings become impossible.
