We've been discovered

Tourists are coming to Sonoma County to eat local and write about it for the New York Times.

While I can sing the praises of some of the places mentioned in the article, I would like to add that you don't have to be precious or pretentious to eat locally here. But perhaps it helps to live here, and to have a sense of how community (the opposite of tourism) and local food work together.

I hope these folks go home and do something about their local food system - and not just for well-to-do foodies.
