I
f your New Year’s resolution is to increase your
consumption of local food, then good for you! It’s
good for your health and your community. But it can
be hard to force yourself past those shimmering icicles on
the porch railing and snowy sidewalks; the cold winter air
can send you right back inside for a cup of packaged hot
chocolate and some Oreos. Resolutions made in the
dullness of winter and not started until spring or summer
tend to fall by the wayside.
Luckily, you can turn your
resolve into action long before
spring.
It is so easy to exchange
money for good quality food
when it is not a challenge.
Local produce may be
available in grocery stores
during harvest time, but what do you do
during the winter season?It’s common for people to fall
off the locavore bandwagon at the sight of the first snow
fall.
