But seeing that I am only one person we may have to do a three way split! :)♥ ♥ ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/07907684371392715602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928334776412638380.post-4265808055164537732008-01-25T14:52:00.000-06:002008-01-25T14:52:00.000-06:00A couple of the chefs at the company I work for ha...A couple of the chefs at the company I work for have been discussing this lately. If you live up north, it really limits what you can eat in winter, unfortunately. We're lucky in Texas to have a longer growing season. <BR/><BR/>We used to have an awesome farmers market not far from our house, but unfortunately they closed. There is also one in downtown Houston, but I've never been. <BR/><BR/>It is a great concept, but hard to follow. I do try to avoid eating foods that are hothouse and not in season - but honestly it is more from a monetary standpoint - they're more expensive out of season. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928334776412638380.post-37263827160220267542008-01-23T18:48:00.000-06:002008-01-23T18:48:00.000-06:00I would love to try to eat locally, I just don't h...I would love to try to eat locally, I just don't have the discipline or the freezer space. I wouldn't necessarily define it so much as looking at mileage, but I figure if you're managing to largely avoid the grocery store you're probably doing pretty well.<BR/><BR/>Our minister likes to live as organically as possible (she even used cloth diapers until her daughter started eating solids) and she was talking about some company that sells locally raised (grazed) beef and now poultry. You can drive to the place (somewhere like an hour or two south of Fort Worth) to make your purchases, or you can have it shipped for free, but you have to buy ten pounds of meat. Jennie was most impressed by the prices, which she said were generally comparable to grocery store prices. Again, worth checking out, but I sure don't have the freezer space for that kind of storage.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786108438272035635noreply@blogger.com
