    The People's Pint in Greenfield serves locally sourced and organic foods. They also brew excellent beer.

      Lumiere in West Newton is very eco-friendly, uses local and sustainable ingredients and the food is fantastic. Another in Western Mass is Route 7 bbq in Great Barrington Mass. who uses locally grown and sustainable food ingredients.

              Matt Murphy's used to only use locally-grown produce. Not sure if that is still the case, as I believe the kitchen has changed a couple times.

                I know that the Chef at Haley House Cafe in Dudley Square is very earth concious and particular about the ingredients she brings in. Their food is great and I believe they now have a Jazz brunch on Sunday that runs about $15 from what I hear.

                  Mare in the North End of Boston would be right up your alley. It gets crowded so make res. Can't remember the exact address but it's off Hanover, which is the main drag through the North End.

                    Oleana in Cambridge gets most of its produce from the farm run by the chef's husband. They get at least some of their meat locally as well. - for example River Rock beef. Also, they have a few vegetarian options as well as a fantastic vegetarian tasting menu.
