Another Good Read

Need a little inspiration for local eating? Check out Plenty: One man, one woman and a raucous year of eating locally by Alisa Smith & J. B. Mackinnon (the creators of the 100 mile diet) and prepare to laugh and be amazed. I am shocked by the resources that they found within 100 miles of home. Because of them, I feel hopeful about our quest for local organic flour - it has to be out there - do you have any leads?

Jen just sent me this great article about an Indiana community's 100 mile potluck. We should try it here.

Oh my gosh!

Real people read this blog besides myself! I'd better post something! Well, it bears telling that Graber Farms was AWESOME, but it's a good thing we went when we did because the blueberry season is short, and so were those bushes. We got just under six pounds of berries, though I think we only got that many because a spunky kitten followed us to the fields and kept our kids happily busy. We have been thrilled with the flavor of the berries, and were sad they were out by the following weekend.

Going to Graber...

We're going blueberry picking with friends at Graber Farms, a local organic farm next Saturday. We'll let you know all about it!
