But Long Island is one of the primary sources of local foods for our region. Not as good as far as low-packaging and shipping as farmers' markets and CSAs, but still better than cross-country: check out Fresh Direct's local foods section. Not much there right now because it's late Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179113156353475401.post-58588386374577729922009-03-03T16:02:00.000-05:002009-03-03T16:02:00.000-05:00I'm sure I will.

The only rub is that I live in Long Island on the north shore of Nassau County so your resources for NYC eating are slightly off course :) I've been perusing the web and found some interesting information and realized this is going to require some work. In fact, last night I stopped in at Whole Foods and almost all of the produce came from California!

I do most of the food shopping at home and found myself looking at the produce for place of origin.
