from the crow's nest

I read the Audubon's magazine regularly - in fact, it is one of the reasons I continue to give them money year after year. This last issue had an article about organic farming at Stone Barns Farm outside Manchester, New York. http://audubonmagazine.org/features0703/cuisine.html

At the end of the article there was a URL that caught my eye. http://www.chefscollaborative.org Their Mission:Chefs Collaborative works with chefs and the greater food community to celebrate local foods and foster a more sustainable food supply. The Collaborative inspires action by translating information about our food into tools for making knowledgeable purchasing decisions. Through these actions, our members embrace seasonality, preserve diversity and traditional practices, and support local economies.

Their site has a restaurant locator on it. Surprise of all surprises - Florida has only one listing!
