I was recently reading Moral Motivations: Coming Soon to a Supermarket Near You – written by Rob Hahn. In this article, he brings up a term that I had never heard of before (Thanks Rob!):

“LOCOVORE”

Check out the Locovore Website

A “Locovore” eats only food that was grown, created within about 100 miles of where you live.

Here is a list of some of local Farmer’s Markets, where you can get locally grown (almost) ANYTHING, as well as some great locally owned food (and drink)-related-businesses.
