  I'm thinking about eating local for a month, but I worry about getting bored. Any tips on how to keep things interesting & not fall into a rut?

  1 1 Hi Megan, How wonderful you are planning to eat only local foods for a month. We help customers with this all the time. I suggest visiting our Queen Anne or Burien store and we can walk you through how to achieve this goal. We also have a full menu online and we can ship our meals direct to you if you are not near one of our stores. http://eatlocalonline.com We have a large selection of local meals. You can choose from Farro Salad to Squash Lasagna. We make everything from scratch (including the pasta and our stocks) with local ingredients. If you are in the mood to cook yourself we have the ingredients in our store from local farms such as cheeses, wheat, nuts, beans and a whole selection of other essential items. I read you are vegetarian but if you ever need to entertain non-vegetarians we have a selection of local chicken, grass fed meats and sustainably caught fish. I am a big supporter of eating more local foods as it helps the local economy, taste better as the food is not traveling as far and it reduces your carbon foot print. Another thing we do at Eat Local is we also buy heirloom and heritage varieties which further increases the diversity in our food system and again tastes great. I think you will enjoy how diverse your diet will become and how interesting it is to eat seasonally and to learn more about what we grow here in the northwest. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help with your journey.

  Recommendations for a farmhouse restaurant (table-service food establishment actually situated ON a farm)?

  2 0 I can also recommend La Boucherie on Vashon Island. The food is excellent and a day trip to Vashon is always a great experience. You can also buy many of their items to take home with you. Perfect for a summer weekend. http://seabreezefarm.net/la_boucherie.html Greg Conner, Owner Eat Local Greg Connor answered in Farmers Markets & Eating Local about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  Best CSAs

  0 0 Hi Jenna, Eat Local is a pick up point for Tiny's Organic at our Queen Anne store and our Burien store. I personally get a Tinys bag and think they are fantastic. If your deciding factor is fruit they are the CSA for you as they have quite a lot of fruit in their bags. Our customers who get a bag are quite happy. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Thanks, Greg Conner, Owner Eat Local Greg Connor answered in Farmers Markets & Eating Local about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
