Maybe you’ve heard the new term locavore but are unsure of the meaning. A locavore is someone
who pays attention to where his or her food comes from and eats local food as much as possible.
Many locavores try to eat within 100 miles (160 km) of their homes or within their own regions. 

A good way to become a locavore is to shop at a local farmers' market. When you buy food from the
farmers' market, the vendor will take home nearly all of the money that you pay her or him. There will
be no supermarket to get most of the profit. In most areas, it’ll be possible to find vegetables, fruit,
meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and cheese all grown, harvested, and produced quite close to your home.
You can also find out which local restaurants support local farmers by asking the restaurants where
they buy their food, or by asking your favorite farmers which restaurants they supply. 

Can't find locally-grown food? How about locally-produced? Many areas have locally-produced jams,
breads, roasted coffee, and cakes. While these businesses may not always use local ingredients in
their products, you’ll be supporting the local economy by buying from them.
One way to get the family involved is to visit a nearby farm. Many farmers will be happy to show you
around the farm, so be sure to take the kids along. If children know where their food comes from, they
might feel a greater sense of connection to their dinner.

a. A locavore eats _____ as much as possible.

food at home // local food // vegetarian

b. Locavores often shop at _____.

Supermarkets // flea markets // farmers' markets

c. You can find out which local __________ support local farmers by asking them where they
buy their food.

d. You can support the local economy by buying _____ food.

locally-produced // reduced // supermarket

e. When kids visit a local _____, they may feel a connection to their dinner.
Restaurant // supermarket // farm

Hi Mom,

I just read an article about becoming a locavore. Do you know what that is?
It's when you only buy food that's grown within of where you live.
It says that you should shop for things like vegetables, , and meat
at farmers' markets, instead of . So, you support 
directly and supermarkets won't get all the profit. The article also
recommends eating at 
that serve food supplied by local farms.

Since my college is in an area that has many farms, I decided that's what
I'm going to do. But in the city, it's harder. The article says as long as you
buy locally produced food, like breads and
made by local people, you can still support the local . I know you
like your Starbucks, but maybe you can try that little coffee shop on the
corner some time, instead? Anyway, you should come visit me. I'll take you
to visit a farm! 

Love, Connie
