EditFar Out, Processed Items
The goal here is to provide information to consumers who otherwise would be buying unsustainable agricultural products from far, far away. If the closest Black Tea producer is more than 100 miles away, it is fair game for this website. If it is in VA, MD, DC, WV, PA, DE, but far away, well it might be close to some readers, so post it's distance from the White House in Washington, DC and let the consumer decide if it is too far away.
No one lists the origin of ingredients for processed foods. If you can't verify the origin of processed items, then make a note of it. Some items can be inferred to be from far away because those items are only produced abroad or a small number of states, e.g Olive Oil, Sugar, Black Tea, Coffee.
EditDon't Compete with Wikipedia
If you feel the need to describe what an ale is, or what a persimmon is, make a link to wikipedia instead.
EditStubbing
For a given topic, fill out the outline first.
EditFilling Out
If you are looking for something to write about, start with blank sections.
EditSplitting
Split pages and give items their own section when they grow to large.
EditProhibitions
Post none of the following:
- No tobacco.
- No illegal crops.
- No inedible items (exception- services directly related to eating local)
- No partisan politics (locavore issue politics are okay)
