The Appalachian Mountains
The Appalachian mountains are a big place for all types of mining. Mining coal, mining gold, etc. The Appalachian mountains are now revamping their cities. They are trying to build new attractions to help their economy grow. And one area that they are growing a lot in is food.
About 50 years ago, people who lived in Appalachia ate pinto beans, fried cabbage, and other flavorless meals that nobody liked. Recently, a lot of people have discovered that the land there is very fertile for crops. Now, all kinds of crops grow there, from rhubarb to ramps, from carrots to potatoes.
The restaurants there have been growing like crazy. And they still all use natural ingredients from local farms. For example, the Harvest Table served home-grown food and food from a farm four miles away. I think that is amazing, how they can serve healthy and fresh food and still sustain themselves.
In conclusion, I think we should go to Appalachia sometime (on a road trip)!
