It's time for a Thursday lifestyle blog.As a vegan and locavore, I buy local vegetables, grow my own, and store/preserve foods for the winter months.
Finding fresh, organic vegetables for me includes buying shares in Community Supported Agriculture, in my case from Red Fire Farm.
I also enjoy farmer's markets and local specialty producers of heirloom beans, tofu, and grains.
All of this required a great deal of research and experimentation.
Now there's an App for that!
On the iPhone Store, Locavore is an iPhone/iPod application that tells you when local fresh produce is available and where to find it.
The app is a great resource who anyone who wants to optimize the produce of each season, find it locally, and prepare it using advice from Epicurious or Wikipedia. You can search by your current GPS location, by state, by fruit/vegetable name, and by farmer's market.
Asparagus and Rhubarb are coming into season soon.
10 local farmer's markets within 10 miles of my home have iPhone accessible web links.
For $2.99 I found Locavore a useful application to keep me aligned with bounty of each season.
