Eat Locally

One of the greatest things about Fall/Winter, is it gives me an excuse (sometimes) to stay inside and catch up on some reading.

I am currently reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.

Another great read that's got me thinking about what I buy and from where. I had already started getting our milk, eggs, cream, butter and some vegetables at Sherman's farm, a near by farm that I use to go to as a child with my best friend, when her Mom worked there in the summer as a strawberry picker. It's grown quite a bit since then from a road side farm stand selling jam and relish to a mini grocery store.

Next year I intend to grow more vegetables, do more canning and have already put more thought in to my purchases and buy locally whenever possible.

In Maine, that shouldn't be so hard.
