Thanks for pointing out this resource, Erich. I must say though, that I hope it's in the early stages. For me, it indicated there was nothing available locally in Nebraska during early February, which is simply not true. Another great resource that I recommend is localharvest.org. They maintain a database of restaurants, farmer's markets, CSAs, and cooperatives that offer locally grown products. Not all of those go year-round, but some do.
And here's a diet to keep you from getting cancer. It looks like some pretty good advice. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-servanschreib…
