Farm to Table-Local Farm Resources
We have had a great response to our initial email for the 2008 Farm to Table event, coming up on March 28 and 29. Here are a few local food resource suggestions sent in from some of our readers:
A great resource for local organic grass fed beef is "VanBuren's All", a family run operation out of Lisbon, Oh. It's about 35 miles west of the Pittsburgh Airport.
Also, a few of our friends from last year's event have sent us their web site links. The Allegheny Front provides "environmental radio for Western Pennsylvania". Their site has articles, podcasts and resources not only for local food but for environmental issues that affect all Western Pennsylvanians. Hahn Natural Foods is a locally owned company that offers hard to find natural foods and is a great supporter of the local food movement here in Pittsburgh. Lastly, Slow Food Pittsburgh is a business that describes themselves as "an international educational organization". They organize events to call attention to local food resources and the celebration of cooking.
On a closing note, local food has a very active advocate at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Marlene Parrish is a columnist for the Food section and maintains a blog writing of her experiences trying to stick to eating only local foods. Her blog started early in the 2007 growing season. It should prove interesting through the winter. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also has a page of local food resources, although, all of those and more are listed on our page!
