Eating Locally in Winter

Tired of root veggies? You can expand your January diet without hurting the Earth.
By Chantal Braganza, Sponsoring Editor at Reader’s Digest Canada

“You knew it would be difficult, but you made the commitment. You told yourself it would be better for the environment, your health and the local economy. And so when spring melted the snow, you bought provincially grown asparagus and maybe tried baking a rhubarb pie.

Then summer arrived and all the benefits of your new diet were on display at your farmers market. Buckets of strawberries, sweet summer peas. Peaches and pears that yielded juicily against your tongue when you bit into them. “Eating local never tasted so good,” you thought to yourself as you polished off the last of late fall’s apple harvest.

But winter’s since rolled in, the farmers market has closed shop and pickings at the supermarket are slim. The thought of rutabagas, potatoes or parsnips again at dinner sets your teeth on edge.
“Being a locavore in winter can seem daunting, but with a few tricks, it doesn’t have to be impossible. Here are four ways to get started.”

Chantal Braganza has some great tips to make eating local this winter simple and delicious! Find out how BC residences like yourselves stay committed to local eating by reading her article here.
