Local Harvest

Local Harvest map of Oklahoma sources
From Friends of Live Earth, an email about “Eating Green” with info about a web site where you can find local farmer’s markets, producers, whole food restaurants, etc.for anyplace in the U.S. Local Harvest shows 197 listings in Oklahoma, including the fantastic Oklahoma Food Cooperative founded by food and community activist extraordinare, Bob Waldrop.

At this point in my life, I’m not making my own shopping or eating choices: I live with and care for my 86-year-old mother, and must cater to not only her culinary tastes, but also her obsessive bargain shopping. So most of our groceries are from the local … Walmart. I do penance for it, and look forward to the day when I can go back to real, unvarnished and non-corporate food.

    If you do buy canned food, be sure to recycle. Recycling a single aluminum can conserves 96% of the energy used to produce another from scratch.

    Since I do buy canned food while at the “evil W place” this is one of the ways I can somewhat ameliorate for the witting but unavoidable (and temporary) collaboration.
