It contains hundreds of listings for farms, restaurants, retailers and so on where Bay Area eaters can find locally grown and produced food.
It's also available in a searchable, digitized version at www.buylocalca.org. If you live in the Bay Area or plan to visit, this is a great resource.
Why local food?
It's fresher - doesn't travel an average of 1500 miles to your plate.
It puts money into the pockets of our farmers and producers, supporting local and rural economies.
It helps protect biodiversity: heirloom and endangered breeds (like Blenheim apricots, for one) are bred for taste rather than their ability to hold up over thousands of miles of transport.
It tastes better!
