One local summer entreats locavores, food bloggers, green living gurus and anyone else to celebrate and explore their local foodshed by committing to prepare at least one meal each week comprised entirely of local ingredients. As last year, 2009′s one local summer is hosted at Farm to Philly, so please head over their now and SIGN UP now! I’ll be participating this year as I unofficially did in 2007 and officially did in 2008.   You can check out my all-time-favorite one local summer meals below:
