Meet Your Farmer Happy Hour – June 13

May 31, 2011 Lindsay

One of the things city dwellers haven’t thought much about for years is where  our food comes from.  A few years ago I would have answered that question with the Giant Eagle or back in the day The Food Gallery – does anyone else remember that grocery store – it was located where the Shadyside Market District is now located. Anyhow – we are learning – processed food isn’t so good for us, and shipping food around the country and the globe has some drawbacks too.  So there are lots of people who are doing something about local food. PASA… Read the rest

Farm to Table, and more!

April 11, 2010 Jennie

I had the pleasure of attending the Farm to Table conference a few weeks ago where several of the area's farms and natural food companies were represented, showing off their goods. Let me highlight a few of my favorite organizations represented at the event: The Green Chef PA is a collection of four lovely women based in Sewickley who are on a mission to change the way people think about, shop for and prepare food. They were preparing a few of their favorite fresh and fast treats for the crowd to munch on while they were checking out the event. They offer catering, personal chef services, instruction and gardening resources. Everything they make is prepared from scratch and made with the freshest local ingredients possible. Buy Fresh Buy Local is a lovely website devoted to being a central resource for over a thousand places to find local food in Pennsylvania.

Eating Fresh and Local along the Penn Avenue Corridor

November 24, 2009 Jennie

Everyone is surely thinking about food a lot more this week than usual. While planning your Thanksgiving feast, did you stop and think about eating fresh and local? This year for Thanksgiving, I’ll be enjoying my first taste of a fresh and local turkey from Pound’s Turkey Farm. I wouldn’t have thought about a fresh and local turkey as an option for Thanksgiving if it wasn’t for my partner in crime, Rob de la Cretaz, who decided to weed out processed foods from his diet and eat fresh and local as much as possible after reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma by… Read the rest
