“A delectable love poem to locally grown food and the people who produce it, Renee Brooks Catacalos’s book makes a compelling argument for strengthening the local economy and community health by eating primarily what’s grown in the Chesapeake Bay foodshed. Buy this book and digest its message that ‘all our daily choices count.'”

Margaret Morgan-Hubbard, ECO City Farms

“Reading this book was an absolute delight. Not only does Renee Brooks Catacalos show that eating local is possible, but that it is pleasurable, too, as you go foraging locally to savor the ‘tastes of the region.’ Read it and then seek and find local food.”

David Kline, editor of Farming Magazine
