Guide to Locally Sourced Food
While struggling through my New Year’s resolution in January 2010, I wrote Rise of the Locavore, which detailed my desire to dive further into the local food movement. I did not expect it to generate much feedback, however it went on to serve as a focal point for local and fresh food addicts, who provided [...]

Locals on Etsy
When I’m out window shopping or taking in the market, I tend to linger a bit longer at stores and booths that are selling local goods.

Six Questions for Luke Hayes-Alexander
For a majority of Kingstonist’s readers, Chef Luke Hayes-Alexander does not require much of an introduction. My past dining experiences at Luke’s have been extraordinary treats, as the locally sourced, creative menu is unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere in the Limestone City. Or any other city for that matter. After multiple viewings of Luke’s Kitchen, [...]

Weekly Poll: Best Summer Produce
Community-supported agriculture (CSA) and farmers’ markets such as the one behind City Hall have already begun to offer summertime favourites including rhubarb, strawberries and zucchini just to name a few.

The Rise of the Locavore
Like many people, each and every year I make a pledge to better myself, and give back to the local community. This year, I purposely kept my New Year’s resolution to myself. It’s not as though I was ashamed of my master plan for 2010, rather, I feared that if I put it out there, [...]
