Celebrate Earth Day with Local Food

Friday April 22, 2011

Orlando Farmer's Market

One of the tastiest ways to be kind to the Earth is to eat local food. This Earth Day, savor the local flavors that Orlando has to offer.  Why consume produce that has traveled half way across the country?  Just an hour from the coast, shouldn't we enjoy the fresh fish that was caught today?

Learn more about how to find locally grown foods.  Explore recipes that emphasize cooking with seasonal produce.  Find out how you can support area farmers, fishers, ranchers and food artisans in Orlando's magazine for Local Food, edibleORLANDO.
