Local Food Economy, Bartering, PDRs and more

Thanks to Vivienne for pointing out this article titled On Martha’s Vineyard, Using Scallops as Currency. The article is too short but some good talk of local food economies that have many small and diverse parts... including exciting talk of bartering, purchase of development rights (PDR) programs, bioregions, chicken feet, and fatback among others. Also note the beet curry and Long Island heirloom squash recipes linked on the left.
