Eat Local Philly seeks to support our local food economy by showcasing locally owned and operated farms, CSAs, farm markets and shops around the greater Philadelphia area.  We are committed to supporting local producers and enjoy discovering new sources for locally grown foods.  We do the hard work so you don’t have to.  Sign up for our FREE Quarterly Newsletter.

Shopping local allows us to reconnect with the source of our food.

A successful local food economy implies not only a new kind of food producer, but a new kind of eater as well, one who regards finding, preparing, and preserving food as one of the pleasures of life rather than a chore.  One whose sense of taste has ruined him for a Big Mac, and whose sense of place has ruined him for shopping for groceries at Wal-Mart.  This is the consumer who understands–or remembers–that, in Wendell berry’s memorable phrase, “eating is an agricultural act.”  He might have added that it’s a political act as well.
