FIT ORGANIC EATS INTO YOUR TRAVEL PLANS

Most people love to travel. Another set of most people, especially nowadays, have a taste for fresh, organic foods. If you happen to fall in both of these categories, you’re in luck. We’ve compiled a slew of resources for anyone who wants to make organic dining a part of their itinerary.

GOOD EATS ON THE ROAD

The best source on the web for organic travel planning is, wait for it, OrganicTravel.com. It offers incredibly thorough directories and guides for those on the road. So finding natural food markets, healthy hotels, organic restaurants and farmers markets while you’re already mid-travel is way easier. There are also plenty of state-specific resources that offer up countless dining suggestions for eco-minded visitors and locals. Here are guides for anyone headed to Tennessee, New York City or Wisconsin, respectively.

VACATION GREENER

Of course, if you’re looking for more than quick stops along the way, there are also ways to make ‘green’ a destination. In fact, lots of places cater specifically to veggie-lovers in this eco-friendly day and age. The Topnotch Resort and Spa in Vermont serves locally grown organic food from the Vermont Fresh Network. The Inn Serendipity in Wisconsin is totally wind and solar-powered and serves vegetarian fare made with ingredients from its own garden. 

VISIT A FARM

This might come off a little biased with us being carrot farmers and everything, but there’s something magical about directly visiting the source of fresh produce. Besides seeing the crops, many farms host outdoor events, farmers markets and public harvesting opportunities all year round. Head on over to Local Harvest to see which farms are closest to you.
All that’s left to say, really, is bon voyage.
