Farm-fresh fare is also packed with nutrients, doesn't have to be sprayed with chemicals to protect it for the long haul to the restaurant, and just plain tastes good. Everybody wins, from farmer to chef to diner.

Alana's is a local restaurant that has consistently committed to buying locally. She's been doing that since she opened (before it was cool). I highly recommend that restaurant.
