On the Trail of a Sustainable Feast in Sonoma

If you could read this New York Times article (June 1, 2008 in the Travel Section), it is very interesting about an idea in Sonoma County on sustainable living. We live in a global economy whether we want to or not, but in Sonoma you could make an attempt on sustainable living, living off of resources within 100 miles of your home. Of course, it is not possible to be 100%, especially in Sonoma, but the county in California does have the resources to make it viable. Locovores, consuming locally produced products, are what they call themselves.

It reminds one of living off the land in our distant history - probably 80 years ago. In addition to the wine industry, Sonoma is selling itself on agrotourism, so any visitor can have this opportunity in sustainable living.

Of course, anything is good with a bottle of good wine, which we know is plentiful in Sonoma.
