100 Mile Diet
I know its a huge fad but there may be something to this movement. I am currently reading the 100 Mile Diet. I am highly intrigued by the downsizing of the variety in our diets. I am researching old time pioneer type heirloom varieties that were once raised successfully in our area. I’m thinking of conducting experiments with fruit trees and other crops and see what I can coax into growing. Its going to be a challenge considering our location. My husband thinks I’m crazy but what is there to be lost by trying right??
I’m looking into programs like Community Supported Agriculture but I can’t find information for anything in our area. I have found some farms in both my mother and my little sister’s locations and have passed on the information; though whether or not they will do anything with it remains to be seen. I have found one farmers market in Kapukasing only 100 km away. We’re going to go check it out on Saturday. We need some produce at least until my indoor vegetables start to produce. I also have some patio tomato seeds and some strawberry seeds coming from Stokes. I’ve never tried indoor fruits and vegetables before so this winter will be an experiment. Wish me luck.
