Synopsis
"Christ talked about the vine and the vineyard, the fisherman and the good shepherd. He made farming sound like a process, almost like religion. Virginia is a state that is biblical in its proportions-it has vineyards and orchards; streams with native trout and a long Atlantic coastline; open fields for grazing and woodland habitat for deer and small game." Thus begins the ultimate guide to local foods in Virginia. Phyllis Wilson has compiled it all in one smart reference. Whether you are wondering where to buy the freshest vegetables or meat raised in a humane fashion without steroids and hormones you will find it all in Eating Local in Virginia. Farms open to the public, farm stores, farmers' markets, as well as stores and restaurants who seek out locally raised food are all listed here. Wilson believes that people are beginning to wake up and realize the inherent problems in our grain-based factory food system and the damage it is doing to our health. She sees the local food movement as people reaching out to a better system. But where does one find good naturally grown food? Often, this becomes a problem. In her book she takes the reader on a journey across the state visiting farms and restaurants, asking the right questions, and listening to the comments of the people who raise our food. Join her on the journey and you will never again have to ask "what shall we eat?" or "where shall we dine?"
