Very cool concept & interesting article:

It's nice when you can eat in a way that is healthy for your body and also healthy for the environment and supports your local economy.

Wouldn't work here. There's only so much you can do with feed corn, pumpkins, soybeans, berries, sod, beef and pork. At least Goose Island Brewery is within 100 miles.

That's awesome, and is a sustainability model that I think there's a lot to learn from.

I try to frequent farmer's markets over the summer whenever possible, as you're both getting very fresh, somewhat reasonably priced produce, it's locally grown, and you're supporting small farmers and allowing them to compete with large chains.

I also love Harpoon beer.
