100 Mile Dinner

Last night's localvore dinner consisted of spicy corn cakes with an Old Shaw Farm vegetable medley. It takes longer to cook with all local ingredients (mostly because there are no pre-made ingredients), but the result has been super yummy. Other highlights so far of localvore meals include polenta, veggie chili, and apple crisp. I stopped by the local food fest at Shelburne Orchards on Sunday and picked a good supply of apples for the week-- and saw lots of other people very excited about eating local foods. This idea of focusing on local products seems to be gaining more and more momentum. And being lucky enough to live on an organic farm, it's surprisingly not that difficult to come up with three meals a day that are solidly local.
