Cultivating the Web, a new publication from Eat Well Guide (EWG), shows how digital tools are being used to do everything from support local farmers to lobby giant players in the food industry, as online communities reject industrial food. EWG will distribute 20,000 copies of Cultivating the Web at Slow Food Nation, the four-day gathering planned for Labor Day weekend in San Francisco. In addition, the publication is available free online in PDF , where EWG says it will be maintained as an up-to-date resource for everyone working to promote a future of good, local, sustainable food for all. http://www.eatwellguide.org/downloads/pubs/080811_CultivatingTheWeb_press.pdf
Eat Well Guide is a free online directory of thousands of family farms, restaurants, markets and other outlets of fresh, locally-grown food throughout the United States and Canada. Visitors simply enter a zip or postal code to find good food and create free printable booklets. Originally a database of sustainably-raised meat, poultry, eggs and dairy, Eat Well Guide listings have expanded over the years to include farmers' markets, CSA programs, local advocacy organizations, and vegetarian/vegan restaurants. Many listings are also accompanied by water conscious ratings.

- Mark 12:42 "A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then Jesus called his disciples and said to them,'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.'"
