Ever since "locavore" was declared the word of the year by the writers of the Oxford English Dictionary, the word seems to be turning up everywhere! I was so excited when my dad (thanks Dad!) forwarded me an email from MPR announcing a new project called "Locavore Nation." Here's how it works: 15 people have sworn to eat at least 80% of their diet from all local sources (within 150 miles of their home). The people are from all across the U.S. The participants all write blog entries, and every week Lynne Rossetto Kasper checks in with some of them on her radio program, The Splendid Table. That's right, Minneapolis, MN is the capitol of Locavore Nation! (I would expect no less!)
Check out their website, and maybe offer them a few supportive comments!

Katie, have you been following the blogs of the locavore nation? Just curious about your thoughts...I hope the participants post their "sources" as they find them! Yes, I'm still looking for the elusive Minnesota cocoa/coffee plantation!!! It's probably next to the banana and pineapple farm...
