M Top 10: Best cities for locavores
You might be wondering what a locavore is. Well, they are people who prefer to mainly eat foods sourced from their local region, and as LawnStarter.com notes, interest in locally sourced foods has only grown during the pandemic.
“But not all U.S. regions are equally locavore-friendly,” the website notes. “So how do you know which cities have the farmers markets, urban gardening plots, and farm-to-table eateries to meet your local eating needs?”
LawnStarter ranked the 150 biggest U.S. cities to determine this, comparing them across 14 key metrics, “from the availability of butcher shops and farm-to-table restaurants to the prevalence of community-supported agriculture.”
Here are the top 10 cities, according to LawnStarter.
