Now that the impact of our over-industrialized food supply is staring us in the face, it’s time to take the locavore movement more seriously. Thankfully, with so many options at our feet, we can. Meat, for example, can be removed of its stigma when purchased through Stillman’s Farm (1205 Barre Road, New Braintree, 508.867.7193). Their six-month meat CSA is brimming with pork, chicken, beef, and lamb, all raised humanely on their farm; they deliver to local farmer’s markets, too. Meanwhile, Crescent Ridge Dairy (800.660.2740) brings local organic milk, among other things, direct to your door. If you (like us) can’t live without cheese, the handmade mozzarella from Fiore di Nonna (781.259.8582) is produced in Lincoln and is sold at Lionette’s Market (577 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.778.0360). If all of that doesn’t make it easy enough, Vela (312 Washington Street, Wellesley, 781.235.4449) brings the market to you with their “To Market, To Market” monthly dinners, where you can get face time (plus a three-course meal) with local purveyors.
