Welcome! Eat Locally!

Eating Healthy in Ramona is a blog created by Avalon Shelton and Nicole Curristan for the community of Ramona, CA. We have a passion for eating healthy and supporting our small town, so our focus for our Harvest Award for the Sow What? Senior Journey was to share with others what we have learned about locally harvested foods and processed and organic foods.

Enjoy reading about the different healthy foods that are available, and explore the many local sources for fresh foods.

Supporting your local farms = supporting your local economy, which keeps small businesses thriving. Eating locally also means eating what is in season which is better for the environment as well as your taste buds!

Thanks for reading,

Avalon and Nicole.
