From Molly Watson:

Welcome to Local Foods! Eating locally is eating seasonally. It can be a big adjustment, but when each ingredient is at its absolute best, cooking's a snap. I love sharing ideas for simple meals and easy dishes that encourage people to make their own food and eat with the seasons.
