P.S. This is where I go into my usual rant about, “knowing where your food comes from...”
We’ve been doing a “local food” challenge on my site and it’s been amazing how well one can eat with a diet based on what is grown locally within your own state.
I’m a little spoiled, though. Wisconsin seemingly has it all! Awesome baked goods, any Dairy product you’d want, homemade sausages, beef and pork right off the hoof, apples, carrots, onions and ‘taters. You can make jam from wild grapes, and other small fruits you can grow at home such a Currant, Gooseberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, etc. (Small fruits make wonderful wines as well!)
Venison, fish and turkey for the time it takes you to load a shotgun, etc. :)
Check out what’s growing in your own state. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. You don’t need to eat no stinkin’ imported foods! (Except for Olive Oil, maybe.) :)
Goodness Grows in NC!
Statewide project to educate people about how much food NC farmers produce. Course, “farmers” includes commercial fishermen, and my guys hunt and we garden. Miss the dairy stuff. Just no good here.
