Finding the Best, Local Food Near You Just Got Easier
The Eat Well Guide is the best new online tool for foodies, farmers and all who care about sustainable eating. It was originally developed by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy and later partnered with Sustainable Table and launched in 2003 along with The Meatrix. The site provides maps, and you can save listings into an online notebook and share it. And you're supporting the local/green food movement.
