Farm to Philly in the news!

Friday, March 06, 2009

We’ve been keeping a little secret around here, but now that the latest issue of Grid magazine has hit the streets we feel safe letting the cat out of the bag: Farm to Philly is featured in this month’s issue (see page 5)!  If you haven’t heard of Grid, it’s a new monthly mag that focuses on what all of us can do to live more sustainably in the Philadelphia area.  This is their third issue.

A few other things in this month’s issue: a recipe for turnovers featuring the really fantastic canned peaches from Three Springs Farm (I tried them a month ago while volunteering at the Fair Food Farmstand - they are amazing!), a primer on home brewing, and an article about Southwark restaurant (they have a seasonal menu focused on locally grown foods!).  You can get the entire magazine online, or you can pick up a copy in your neighborhood.

We also have more good news: Farm to Philly will be a featured blog when Where the Locals Eat launches its online list of “The Best Food Blogs in Amerca”.  You’ve probably seen dining guides from Where the Locals Eat - they’ve been publishing yearly guides since 1996.  Recent editions include New York, Los Angeles, Nashville and Las Vegas. Last September they released an iPhone application called LocalEats (look in the Travel categories to find that app).
