Charlottesville has a rich culinary heritage that spans from the early years of Thomas Jefferson's Garden Book at Monticello to the bustle of the contemporary City Market on Water Street. The city's cuisine is distinguished by its love of foods that are grown nearby. The locavore mindset is evident at all levels of Charlottesville's food industry, from Whole Foods Market to popular online retailer Relay Foods. Examples include the nationally recognized practices of Joel Salatin's Polyface Farms, the sourcing of local pork for Chipotle's Charlottesville location, and the accessibility of regional ingredients everywhere. Author and foodie Casey Ireland investigates how Charlottesville locals have developed a distinctive culinary culture.
