Fresh Locally Grown Food
Written by Glen Hughes on April 15th, 2008 1 Comment
Just because we are smack dab in the middle of restaurant week doesn’t mean we can’t talk about your cooking your own food at home (maybe next week sometime). The number one thing that all chefs will tell you is that in order for your meals to go from good to great you need to have the freshest ingredients possible. Treehuggers on the other hand, will tell you that in order to save the planet you need to buy locally grown foods to keep the transportation pollution to a minimum. Now in Salem you can help the environment and promote gastrointestinal goodness.

Chris Crandall over at In Season is offering a great service to the people of Salem who are interested in getting some locally grown / harvested food. They have New England suppliers for fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, bread and dry goods and deliver it to down town Salem each Saturday. All you need to do is log on to their website, click on the shop links and find what you want. Saturday you mossy on down to Pamplemousse where they will be set across the street from 11am to 2pm and pick up your fresh food.
This time of year there is not too much in the way of fresh fruits and veggies but I’m assured that is soon to come in the warmer months. For now, check out their other selections including meat, dairy, breads and jams.

Hi Folks,
We had a great first week delivering local food to Salem! Thanks, for the press on this site-the response was excellent. I’ve started blogging more info about the service…who we buy from, recipe ideas for season food etc @www.inseason.us/blog.
Give us a look!
Chris
