Eat Local - Is That In Season?

We're used to going to the store and having everything there, all the time, no matter what season it is. One of the wonders of our world-wide food economy is that everything is in season somewhere, at some time.

One of the downers, of course, is that what we buy may not be as good as we think it is and who knows how it was grown or how green it was when harvested. This is why local food is always better.

The question is: what can you get right now, next week, or next month, locally? It's hard to plan things if you don't know what's going to be available.

Well, the Web has come to the rescue in the form of this handy widget you can install on any site, blog, etc. and see what's available locally, right now, for you.

I was going to install it here on Aaron's EnvironMental, but the sidebar is too skinny for it to fit.

If you want to try it out or install it on your own site, though, you can get it free at this link.
