A large portion of Local Table is devoted to the various CSA's offered throughout Middle Tennessee. It breaks down the CSA's by county and then gives a description of what each farm provides.
The magazine also gives a list of Farmer's Markets available throughout the region and a blurb describing each one followed by hours of operation and contact info.
One of my favorite tools offered by the Local Table is the Local Table Seasonality Chart offered on the back cover. It gives a list of produce and the months when they are at their peak. This encourages people to buy their produce when it is at its peak and most flavorful. This is a step away from the supermarket idea of produce being available at all points throughout the year. As a result of the phenomena, food is being shipped from all over the world, picked before its perfect ripeness and places on store shelves.
Local Table is a seasonal magazine published throughout the year, archiving the growing number of farms available for CSA's and different local businesses.
