The San Francisco Local Foods Wheel is a Great Resource for Thanksgiving in the Bay Area

While we are on the topic of enjoying a local turkey day, I’m reminded of the trusty local foods wheel that was created by three brilliant women to help Bay Area folks decide what’s in season at the grocery store.

Hopefully a local foods wheel will be created for each and every spot in the US, but for now they are focused on the San Francisco Bay Area and New York Metro Area. The concept is simple, just choose the month we’re in, and rotate the wheel to reveal the local foods available. They explain:

• » Get Eat. Drink. Better. by RSS or sign up by email.

“The top wheel shows the foods that are available year-round, and the bottom shows foods that are available only seasonally. The top wheel exposes one season of the bottom wheel at a time, so that you can see what foods are available during that season. On the back of the wheel is a seasonality reference, which you’ll also find on the website by clicking here.”
