Real People Eat Local is a website for anybody who eats!
No matter what your lifestyle or level of commitment, delicious local food can grace your table.
We're real people who eat local.
WHY EAT LOCAL?
Fresh, local food tastes great!
It's fun!
It's also healthy, tasty and environmentally-friendly. It strengthens community. And it supports your local economy.
WHERE?
Because we live in a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC, some of the information on our website is specific to our region of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. But, no matter where you live -- even in Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania or across the country -- we’re sure you’ll find something here that can help you access local food in your own area!
HOW?
With a little planning and creativity, we found using local items in our everyday menus can be affordable and convenient. We hope this website will make it easier for you to buy and prepare local food too.
WHO ARE WE?
On this website, we share practical information on local food, focused through our lens as parents and writers. We -- Kristi and Renee -- know how hard it can be to feed ourselves and our families food we feel good about, while juggling the demands of real lives. We wanted to make healthier food easier to come by. And we found that part of the answer was right here in our own backyard.
