Texas Locavore

Kitchen Gardens International is a non-profit organization that was founded in Portland, Maine, in 2003 to promote “the ‘localest’ of all food,” in response to the dramatic decline in home-food production in the U.S.  They’re the folks responsible for the Eat the View campaign and video posted here earlier this week. They also established International Kitchen Garden Day, when they ask people around the world to “celebrate the multiple pleasures and benefits of home-grown, hand-made foods.” Here in Texas, it’s good timing - now’s a great time to plant new tomatoes and peppers for fall harvest.
