The month-long Vermont Localvore Challenge begins tomorrow, August 1, and I’ll write more then about what the challenge is, and why I’m doing it.
In the meantime, I’ll be pretty busy tonight trying to make good use of all of the non-local food that’s in my fridge. If I can’t preserve it somehow (make jam, applesauce, or freeze stuff), it will have to go home with a friend, since starting tomorrow, I won’t be eating anything that’s not grown within 100 miles of Burlington (with a few minor exceptions).
