I was recently reading Moral Motivations: Coming Soon to a Supermarket Near You – written by Rob Hahn  – The brains behind Notorious R.O.B.  – Blog On Marketing, Technology, and Real Estate. (I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hahn last year at the Real Estate Blog World conference in Las Vegas, NV. I have been reading his blog ever since.)

In this article, he brings up a term that I had never heard of before (Thanks Rob!):

“LOCOVORE”

Check out the Locovore Website

A “Locovore” eats only food that was grown, created within about 100 miles of where you live.

Here is a list of some of local Farmer’s Markets, where you can get locally grown (almost) ANYTHING, as well as some great locally owned food (and drink)-related-businesses.
