Out and About - Meatless Monday Edition

Eating vegetarian isn't only about reducing animal cruelty - it's also about limiting your environmental impact. One of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to do this is to frequent your local farms and farmer's markets and buy what's in season. The shorter the distance between your produce and your plate, smaller your carbon footprint, so on this Meatless Monday, I'll take you on a tour of two of my favorite local places to buy fruits, vegetables, and other vegetarian products.

Terhune Orchards - Princeton, NJ



Blueberries, peaches, nectarines, and watermelon are delicious in July










































Try incorporating summer vegetables like squash, beets, carrots, and radishes into your salads and side dishes



















































The Wrightstown Farmer's Market is open May - Mid-November from 9am to 1pm and features locally grown (often organic) produce and other vegetarian offerings such as cheeses, honeys, baked goods, and breads from Bucks County area farms.
