apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Some current features and posts on the site include:

• A guide to foraging for lamb's quarters (it's a leaf, by the way)
• A tribute to Green City Market founder Abby Mandel, who passed away last week
• Thoughts on eating local forever
• A discussion on local sources for Halal meat

One thing you probably won't find at The Local Beet? The word "locavore." Founder Michael Morowitz isn't a fan, and espouses a "less completist and more practical" approach. Sounds about right to us.
