hen talking about eating locally, many people focus primarily on produce. Buying local vegetables and fruit from the farmers market is a great way to eat both locally and seasonally, but it is certainly not the only way to go, especially here in northern New Mexico. As winter approaches and fresh produce options begin to decrease, the time comes to stock your pantry in such a way that will allow you to thrive through winter on all the local goods our lovely state can provide.
