Foodie Quiz: How local are you?

Up until about six years ago, I didn’t really think about eating local, nor did I know much about its value. I didn’t take the time to think about where my food came from, and there was no difference between chain and local restaurants to me. In fact, I was really excited when the Cheesecake Factory came to Fresno (*all foodies cringing now*). But there hadn’t been any big “buy local” campaigns, and the ideas surrounding that movement were pretty foreign at the time.

Then, as I got more involved with Fresno-centric activities and people, I started falling in love with things like the Fait Accompli from Westbrook Wine Farm, Masumoto peaches, Berry Lady blueberries and all the fun eating events at the Vineyard Farmers Market. I met passionate chefs like Chris Shackelford from Trelio Restaurant (and his awesome brother Mike). I became the second half of TasteFresno (R.I.P., but there are still so many yummy recipes here), an online place celebrating local food culture. From there, I learned about the local Slow Food Movement, and the overall community that has honored food for decades before I was even born. Food in Fresno is about so much more than the excellent quality of our produce; it’s about the people that produce, eat, and cherish every morsel, together.

So now I’m wondering, where does the FresYes! community stand? I’m curious, so I came up with this 3-minute survey (10 questions total). There are no right or wrong answers; this is all in good fun. Please take the time to answer these questions. I’ll post the results next week!

Bonus: if you missed that “Is it Local?” spoof from Portlandia (or want to watch again), here it is for your viewing pleasure:

Who is FresYes?

Fresyes.com was started by me, Jason Farris. Yes, I'm in real estate. I think that real estate is so much more than buying and selling homes. It's all about the lifestyle, it's about community. Here in the Fresno / Clovis area we have such a wonderful sense of community. I wanted a place that best reflects the people, the places and the lifestyle that we call home. Fresyes.com is that place. We have fabulous authors who share what makes this community of ours so special. I also write here, and not always about real estate. You can find all my posts HERE
