Every urban locale and large town in the country now has flourishing connections with its local farmers. From Manhattan down to Miami, from Chicago’s windy streets all the way to San Francisco’s winding ones, farmers’ markets, CSAs, stores and restaurants that feature local fare and farmers’ co-ops provide city dwellers with tasty, nutritious and safe food.
