Basic Pursuits

There is nothing better than fresh, locally grown food. Ironically, it's hard to get these days. For example, my favorite green grocer here in St. Petersburg, Fl, tells me he gets most of his produce from Mexico. He says the locally owned offerings just don't look as good. I trust his judgment. He gets up six days a week to be at the produce market in Tampa at 1 am.

Too bad. Florida used to grow a lot of produce.

Wired Magazine has taken up the challenge and posted a nice piece on finding locally grown food around the U.S. Hopefully, it will clue you in to some delicious findings. Unfortunately, one of the more intriguing sites, 100milediet.org, yielded a lot of bad links, but the other sites worked well.

Thanks to Lifehacker for putting guiding me to the Wired site.
