In the 100 Mile Diet. I must admit that we won't be starting until this spring for a few reasons. First, I would like to read this book to become more informed and prepared. Second, and this is the part that I'm embarrassed about - it is SO much easier in Vermont to buy local, fresh veggies and fruits in the spring and summer. We have a share in the Intervale and are so excited to start taking Acadia there every Thursday night - live music, good friends, picnics at sunset on warm summer evenings, berry picking, fresh organic fruits and vegetables - what could be better?!
To prepare for this summer, I am reading up on canning, so I can store our local goodness for our enjoyment during the winter of 2009. My plan is to try the 100 Mile Diet for 6 months, although truth betold, I would really love to do it for a year. I always set my standards a little low, so I won't be disappointed in myself if I don't reach my goal. (How sad is that? LOL!) Anyway, please join us - it's so important to support your local farmers and the less food has to travel the better!Mmmmmm - just writing about all this local yumminess makes me excited for Spring!!
