Great Local Food Articles

Joel Salatin, farmer and writer, published the following article in Mother Earth News about eating locally. The article begins with a great section about eating local meat and eggs in season. Most of us non-farmers have no idea that there is even a season for meat and eggs. Mr. Salatin goes into great detail about that topic and offers tips on finding and eating local produce as well.

By the way, two easy places to get local eggs in the Chambersburg area are Trickling Springs Creamery and The Wilson/Fulton Farm CSA. I've also noticed Trickling Springs carries some local beef.

Here's another great article that Mr. Salatin linked to at the end of his article. This one describes methods of storing and preserving local foods for the winter.
