Eat Local!
Let us count the ways...
Via The Chicago Tribune (registration required):
The Guide to Eating Organic In and Around Chicago," recently issued by the Organic Food Network, offers a resource for diners and cooks on the prowl for organic foodstuffs. The listing includes farms, farmers markets, restaurants and supermarkets. Also included is the "Summer 2004 Guide to Local Organic Produce." (Some information is online at organicfoodnetwork.net.) For a copy send a check or money order for $6 payable to Organic Food Network, P.O. Box 4086, Wheaton, IL 60189. You will see that organic/local produce, meat, etc. is out there and not just at the Green City Market or Evanston. According to the Organic Food Network, local organic farm stuff can be found at farmer's markets in Naperville, Orland Park, Kankakee, Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Wilmette, Park Forest, and Wheaton (and more).
This is an amazing resource of things available in Illinois, I bet you had no idea so much was out there.
Terra Brockman can often be found selling the wares from her brother Henry's farm at the Evanston Farmer's Market. Her organization, Land Connection, is a great resource.
Seven Generations Ahead works on environmental issues as well as sustainable food issues, but just for us foodies helps bring local produce such as organic meat to Oak Park. I am in the process of joining. You should too!
How local is London? Still, Fergus Henderson is my idol and role model. I look at his menu daily to see how I should eat.

Dear Blogger,
One of the article groups on my site is recipes ... while searching for details on food network recipes, I came across this post .
It is widely accepted that a lot of the best articles on the internet is created by individuals who blog ... good quality content without the bias and waffle often found elsewhere.
Judging by your blog title and content I believe you are interested in food network recipes, and will therefore find our recipes category to be of interest. I am frequently looking for individuals to submit articles on their pet subjects and help me to build the directory to everyone's benefit. As a contributor, you get the recognition of having your article published and seen by thousands of web users. The pride and satisfaction of seeing your article published in a prestige directory is hard to beat.
Few of us are gifted with the ability to write to professional standards of grammatical correctness ... as a result, many bloggers don't bother to have their articles published.
I accept articles written in an informal style that matches your personality and fits in with your article content. I also welcome articles that are uniquely based on your personal knowledge, experiences and opinions. All I ask is that your articles do not contain vulgar language, incite hatred or generally offensive.
There are no costs involved ... please come over and have a look at my blog articles directory for yourself.
Kind Wishes
Emily
Crikey! One minute I'm searching the web for things on home cooking, and the next I'm reading this post. I'm not sure that's exactlly what I had in mind, Blogger, but I've enjoyed my visit. Now I'm off to try another search on home cooking.
Hi Blogger
I never realised that so many blogs would show up if I did a search on something like cooking course. I'm still not sure how well this post falls into that category, but I've enjoyed visiting :0) Adios Amigo.

Is there a web site that lists all restaurants in the chicago area that serve organic meat? I am not a vegetarian but I am forced to be so when I eat out because I simply refuse to sipport factory farming. I only eat organic meat at home. Animals eat other animals. If I eat meat, I would like some assurance that the animal did not have a miserable, abusive existance
