Farm to Table 2014 Wall Calendar

Anyone who has ever plucked a tomato straight off the vine or cracked open a farm-fresh egg knows there is a world of difference between locally grown produce and food from the supermarket shelves. The farm-to-table movement, embraced by the burgeoning ranks of locavore and slow food enthusiasts, is flourishing for many reasons. With every delicious bite, you are supporting your local economy, reducing your environmental footprint, providing your body with wholesome nutrients, and forging a deeper connection with the rhythms of the seasons. You dont have to be a farmer to enjoy the many benefits of local and seasonal foods. Home gardens, farmers markets, CSAs and foraging all offer opportunities to enjoy the bounty. From wild mushrooms and heirloom tomatoes to artisan cheeses and homemade vinegars, the Farm To Table wall calendar is packed with luscious photographs and valuable tips on selecting, preserving and preparing fresh local foods. With beloved garden writer Ann Lovejoy as your guide, it will help you savor the best of every season.
