Erin McCarthy
Growing up on the fresh fruit and veggies from eastern Long Island was the beginning of Erin’s love for all things natural. Her family always made a conscious effort to support friends that owned local farms. During her first year at Colgate University, Erin was part of a small group of students who completed a project on the benefits of Fair Trade coffee and she is proud to say that it is now prevalent in the dining halls at Colgate. She was known to be a strong supporter of the local businesses and could be seen frequently at the farmer’s markets in the fall and in turn developed a soft spot for rural New York State. As an Outdoor Education leader, Erin led trips with fellow students to the Adirondacks and is now excited to have the opportunity to fuel her passion for the outdoors in the nearby Hudson Valley. After receiving her BA in Environmental Geography, Erin spent a year as a teacher discussing environmental issues with her students. Erin is excited to join the Eat Well Guide team and to help it play a significant role in promoting sustainable agriculture.

Take a look at a leek and you may notice something familiar. Its tall, strong stalks resemble its petite cousin, the scallion. Leeks are related to a long line of vegetables, including garlic, onions, shallots and scallions. The similarities between the plants, however, end upon first taste. The leek has a far more subtle, sweet flavor than its pungent family members.
