Tips for Eating Local

Written By Hannah Gregory

  • Eat seasonally. 

  • Find a farmer.

  • Start small.

  • Choosing food that’s grown, caught, brewed, or made within 400 miles (according to the USDA) of New Orleans — food that truly represents our region whether that’s the state of Louisiana, the Gulf Coast, or the Southeast US.

  • Supporting the people and communities who grow, harvest, and cook the flavors that make New Orleans unique.
