A ripple in the water

  So I am starting to research different farm to table restaurants around the country, but seeing as I am from New York State, I am going to start with a list from there. I just want to clarify that I am in no way, shape, or form  endorsing or advertising these restaurants...I am just giving you healthy and sustainable options. Did you know that the farm to table restaurants cuts down on our carbon foot print, and mostly everything is organic and sustainable...on top of that we are supporting our local economy and local farmers (not the mega farms)

So Anyways here is a beginning list of local restaurants following this movement, or at the very least-using local and sustainable supplies... Many of these websites can be found via google.

-Jake Moon, located in Clarksville, NY
-Cella Bistro, located in Schenectady, NY
-New World Bar and Bistro, located in Albany, NY
-Terrapin Restaurant, located in Rhinebeck, NY
-Restaurant North, located in Armank, NY
-Blue Hill at Stone Barns, located in Pocantico Hills, NY
-Applewood, located in Brooklyn, NY
-The Wright at the Guggenheim, located in Manhattan, NY

* I will continue to add to this list for NY and eventually add some for a variety of states and cities in the continental US... Feel free to let me know of other sustainable, organic, and/or farm-to-table restaurants...

In the meantime, check out this website I found... it has a lot of neat and interesting information...

We can make the world a better place, by going back to the simpler things in life and supporting our local economy. By using sustainable materials and locally grown food, we will not use as much gas or chemicals, or other toxic products that not only harm the environment, but also harm our bodies.

We need to take time out of our lives and think about the consequences of our actions and strive to make a change every day. If we make a small change, others will be inspired to make a small change, and one small change from everyone can make a big change for us all!
