For All You Apple (iPhone) Lovers

If you are new to the concept of organic food and sustainable cooking and eating, here is the technology treat for you. Admittedly, when I think of fruits, I think of berries and citrus, but these foods are not in season all year round. In fact, very few things are in season year round which presents a challenge for those of us trying to do the right thing by and eat correctly and consciously.
Well, the folks at Apple have done it again. Created by Buster Benson, a popular Seattle based blogger, the Locavore iPhone Application, “automatically detects the state you’re in, tells you what’s in season (and for how long), where your nearest farmers markets and farms are, and links you to Wikipedia articles and recipes on Epicurious.com for 234 different fruits and vegetables.”
The iphone app will cost you a modest $2.99 but may serve as a valuable resource as we work to better understand and appreciate healthier eating.
