1. Who is the mastermind behind Eat Local Philly?
Eat Local Philly is owned by Jo-Lynne Shane, a married mom of three who lives and works from home in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. Jo-Lynne is committed to supporting the local food economy, and she has spent many hours searching out local sources of produce, meat and dairy (and occasionally wine too). Jo-Lynne has lived in the Philadelphia area for 15 years. She has lived in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties, and she has spent much time seeking out local foods in those areas as well as parts of Berks and Lancaster Counties as well. Eat Local Philly is a place for her to share their finds. However, she can’t do it alone. Your submissions are coveted!
Jo-Lynne is well known in the blogosphere for her personal blog, Musings of a Housewife, where she chronicles her life juggling 3 kids, 4 blogs, a blog design business, and the laundry. She also runs the Philly Social Media Moms email group, and she writes for various online magazines. In her spare time, which is dwindling by the day, she likes to cook, read, shop, jog, and photograph her kids. Follow her on Twitter at JoLynneMusings.
2. What areas does Eat Local Philly represent?
