Sarah has inspired me to take this Eat Local Challenge. I've been meaning to post this for a while now, so everything is now past tense! Unlike others (read: Sarah) who sourced almost all of their food locally and made lists of exceptions, I took the reverse route. Rather than a list of exceptions, I made one, tiny effort: Once this month I will order from Athens Locally Grown, our local online farmer's market.
You'll be happy to hear that I did meet my own challenge! My order consisted of a pound of coffee from 1000 faces, amazing cinnamon raisin bread, and a gallon of raw milk from Milky Way Farm. It was a great and fun experience and I am definitely hooked. There is no reason to go elsewhere for milk or coffee. The "market" has tons of other products, but I'm starting slow...
We absolutely love Athens Locally Grown... and the raw milk is phenomenal. We got our tomatoes through Locally Grown all summer and were very glad we did. Ummm... tomatoes...
