The 100-mile Diet is gaining in popularity and adherence. It is described here:
http://www.100milediet.org/
The Albany Times-Union has a blog dedicated to eating local:
http://blogs.timesunion.com/eatlocal/
[Note: these sites are not exclusively vegetarian and include info on meat, dairy, eggs.]
I’d also add the Organic Consumers Association:
http://www.organicconsumers.org
Their focus is more on health and the co-opting of the term “organic” by greenwashers (particularly those in the Organic Trade Association).
A great book was written about locavorism:
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, by Barbara Kingsolver and her family. This book reads chronologically and starts in Springtime, so you can read with the seasons if you like:
