I’m looking forward to the local challenge. It fits in nicely with our decision to start trying to eat more consciously this summer. While we’re not trying to go to the same extent as the 100 mile diet couple or Barbara Kingsolver, we are trying to make sure that our produce, breads and meats are […]
