> Many of us need to stop and refuel while birding Minnesota's great
> outdoors, be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  For example, just
> this morning I was out birding at Crosby Farm, where I heard my first
> Killdeer and Northern Flicker of the year.  Often after a morning
> birding in St. Paul, I head over to Trotter's Cafe on Cleveland Ave to
> have a mid-morning snack.  Trotter's is a restaurant known for
> supporting local sustainable farms, not to mention just wonderful
> home-made food!
>
> We want to know about your favorite restaurant, cafe, bed & breakfast,
> or other public eatery that serves up great, home-made food.  We
> especially want to know about places that serve locally-grown food,
> whose menus may include meat from a local rancher, cream and butter from
> a nearby dairy, fruits and veggies grown by area farmers, jams and
> relishes those farmers put up, honey from the neighborhood apiary,
> delicious Minnesota wines, or anything else that makes a wonderfully
> short journey from "farm to table."
>
> Please send us the name of the eatery, the town it's located in, any
> contact information you may have (phone, address, e-mail) and, if you
> know it, the name(s) of the owner(s) and/or chef(s).  All information
> can be sent to Derric Pennington at info@rtcinfo.org (please do not
> reply
> to sustag@mail.coafes.umn.edu).
>
> Over the next couple of months we will be gathering your suggestions
> and will be selecting a number of these establishments to be featured in
> a book and on a website to promote "eating locally."
>
> This project has been made possible by a grant from the North Central
> Regional Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program, and is
> being carried out by a number of organizations throughout the state.
