About Local Forage

Go to Carla's introductory post.

Eating is one of our most fundamental and most sensual acts. And eating what's good for you doesn't mean depriving oneself of good taste and gastronomic delight. A delicious, nutrient-dense diet is a necessary foundation for health and happiness.

Local Forage will attempt to look, even beyond the organic realm, to the culinary traditions of our ancestors and source out foods that are nourishing, unprocessed, tasty and whole. These traditions require more time in the kitchen but we believe they give highly satisfying results – freedom from acute and chronic illness, delicious meals, vitality, and healthier children.

Our goal at Local Forage is to provide a time-saving reference that will help you:

• find the best, most delicious and satisfying food
• maximize the vitality and health-giving properties in the food you do buy
• educate yourself on the choices you have beyond the mainstream
• understand the intricacies of (and avoid the pitfalls of) our modern food system
