10 Great Farm-to-Table Sustainable Food Blogs
Eat Local Challenge
This site has a little bit of everything: a diverse group of writers that talk about news related eating locally grown foods and supporting local farmers, and several month-long eat local challenges. A great resource!
Ethicurean
The Ethicurean is a group blog that talks about food politics and policy, food safety, and all sorts other related news, but also does reviews of cookbooks, has interviews, and talks about cooking and gardening—all with an eye toward ethics and sustainability.
Food Politics
Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics, keeps a constantly-updated blog that focuses on food safety issues in government.
Green City Market
The blog for Chicago's Green City Market is a tremendous resource for everything localvore-related. They recently had an outstanding post on heritage breed eggs. Makes me wish I lived in Chicago!
Ideas in Food
Ideas in Food has nothing to do with eating locally or food politics, but it's one of the most inspiring sites out there. I always end up thinking about food a little differently, and it gives me great ideas for new things to do with locally grown produce.

Urban Hennery
As someone who really wants to keep chickens (but can't because my neighborhood isn't zoned for it), I live vicariously through Laura at Urban Hennery. In addition to just generally being an inspiration in terms of eating locally, gardening, keeping her flock, and cooking, she organizes the Dark Days Challenge (an effort to keep people eating locally grown throughout the Winter).
