The 100 Mile Diet

[pt_tangles]

Anyone heard of this?  Anyone interested in trying it with me?  I still have a lot of research to do to figure out just what food is local to me (I know that cranberries are ... so, yay!), but I wanted to give it a shot for ... oh, say, the summer.  I am thinking that beyond being a way to help the environment, it might also be a great way to reconnect with the seasons.

Anyone who is interested in more info:

I've considered eating local before, and I need to hit the local farmer's markets this year.
I just don't know if I have the cashola right now to drive further than my local grocer.

Yeah, money is where I am stuck right now too. And transport. I would have to head a bit further out to find a farmers market that wasn't run by and marketed to Asian and Indian folks. Those ones have just as much importated food as the local grocery store.
