Can't go wrong with Burt's Bee's Wax
It's a 938 mile drive from Rice Lake, WI to Creedmoor, NC where Burt's Bee's Wax is based.
The Natural Trading Company
99 miles from Newcastle,CA to Tracy,CA. If you live near Sacramento, CA and love fresh organic food you might want to think about joining a CSA ( community supported agriculture) like The Natural Trading Company.
They were bought in the land down under, yeah.
These organic pasta's and sauces were flown in 4,211 miles from Bali to Christchurch in New Zealand.
Pineapples
Organic pineapples from Costa Rica and bought in Pleasanton, CA traveled 3,024 miles.
Here's a fun fact for those who might be planning a trip to Costa Rica-The word for HOT, in Spanish, is caliente. Caliente begins with a "C". Water faucets imported from the USA almost all have a "C" on them. If your Hot Water never seems to get HOT in Costa Rica, try the handle with the "C". Note, this may change from bathroom to bathroom within the same house.
Dueling Raspberries
These organic raspberries were photographed in Tracy,CA and came from both the U.S. and Mexico. hmm... 60 miles from Watsonville, CA to Tracy, CA or 1,614 miles from Mexico to Tracy? Which to choose?
Organic Hot Dog
By far the best organic picture I've received! This little guy was on the way to a Halloween parade in Tracy, CA.

Three Rivers Market
An old friend sent me some photo's from an amazing grocery store in Knoxville, TN. Notice how they label where everything is coming from. Finally!
Kinnikinnick Farm
If you happen to live in Chicagoland or you're just in town for the weekend make sure you stop by the Chicago Green City Market. In my biased opinion Kinnikinnick Farm has the best produce around! You can learn more about Kinnikinnick and the Green City Market by visiting their websites.
The Who Farm
This is such a great idea and a wonderful cause to get behind! Plus, who wouldn't want to grow a roof top garden on a school bus? You can follow the link above to sign the petition. Just click on The Who Farm.
King Corn
King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, andpowerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm. I highly recommend this film to anyone looking to learn more about the food they eat.
Vegas Baby!!
The best food is always raised local for locals and the best chefs around know it! This photo was taken at Cathouse in Las Vegas, a restaurant that strives to provide local and organic options.
Propaganda Anyone?
From the early 1950s on, the female tractor driver was one of the most frequently seen symbols of Chinese socialist modernity. Known as the nüjie diyi (女界第一) model workers, the 'female-kind-first', they were part of the group of 'the first' women to be trained in work involving heavy machinery. Liang Jun (below left), one of China's first female tractor drivers, was introduced to Chinese audiences in 1953 in posters, anthologies and school texts.

and the winner is...
This tiny jar of coconut oil traveled 17,834 miles to New Jersey from the Philippines. That means 1,070,040 gallons of gas were burned on that flight. Makes you rethink making that jerk chicken and coconut oil pasta for dinner.
Warm Chili in a Cold City
These beens were bought in Cleveland,OH and traveled 2,034 from San Diego, CA. Make you own chili at home!
Tennessee, ain't no place I'd rather be!
