My friend (who lives in KC and calls me his hippie friend from up North) shared a link to a series of news stories that the KC Star did on local food available in the Kansas City area. To access them you will have to log in, but it’s free.
If you’re concerned about getting deluged with junk mail you can use a fake e-mail because they don’t validate it before letting you read the stories. Use a fake mailing address too if you are so inclined.
[ed note: to avoid registering for sites like these, try bugmenot. All you have to do is open the site up in a different tab (or window) and enter the url. bugmenot will give you an anonymous login that works for most sites. Great for annoying newspaper and media sites that require logins]
It’s an interesting series of stories. Local food wasn’t such a large thing back when I lived in KC. I rememeber shopping at some of the stores mentioned and I’m glad changes to the grocery stores are being made.
The story is at this link on the upper right hand side.
If you live in KC I hope these articles are a resource for you as you plan and make your food choices. And don’t forget about the City Market downtown and the Overland Park farmer’s market for other local food choices when they are available.
Changing your eating habits is one of the easiest changes you can make to your life to start making a difference out there.

Thanks for the nice post about eating local in Kansas City. I am a KC resident, I was an author on the Eat Local Challenge site for 2006, and was featured in the Star’s special Thanksgiving issue with a sweet potato pie recipe using local ingredients. I’ve started a site to feature local foods and growers. The site is in it’s infancy, but I would welcome anyone with ideas and comments to stop by and visit. I hope to make it a great resource for KC locavores.

Ah, I forgot, thanks again for the link to my food blog (Expatriate’s Kitchen!). I had no idea you had connections to KC. Small world!
