This elegant seasonal food map on Epicurious shows what produce can be locally found in each state for a given month. Maps like this can make it possible to avoid the excessive shipping and stale flavors of commercial produce. In the future a map like this could have infinite granularity, to help people find the farms near them and the days and weeks each year when the freshest and best food can be found.
