I've been thinking so much about local food lately, even recently started a blog about it (http://simplegoodandtasty.com). Today's post is about the Red Stag Super Club, and soon I'll cover it's "sister restaurants" Barbette and Bryant Lake Bowl. At The Red Stag, even the building is sustainable. Highly recommended.

A friend at the Wedge Co-op forwarded your post to me. If you haven't done so already, we've got farm pics and stuff up on our website and blog http://pasturelandcooperative.wordpress.com/ It's almost grass season, and time to make more butter and cheese!

It's nice to see Minnesota getting some love. I live in Duluth, and even this far north we have a thriving local foods movement, and I can buy some kind of local fresh produce year 'round at the local co-op (not to mention all the local dairy and eggs and meat and canned/packaged goods).

It seems like I'm swimming against the tide here, I'm thankful for the local foods I have been able to find and am working to strengthen my local food system. Hopefully more people will become invovled. I love hearing great news like this amid all the food choas that seems to be going on.

You have beautifully mined some of the Twin Cities nuggets that exist in my mind and my experience as well. I live in Iowa, just two hours south, and have frequently throughout the years hit the road destined for the Wedge. Most have thought I was nuts for driving so far "just to get food", but as you have pointed out, it IS a destination. This, of course, points out the unfortunate surrounding desert, but what an oasis it is. Thank you so much for this article.
