Thanks, Shelli, for pointing out this awesome Silly Internet Quiz. I know the results are a shock. ;-)

Also? This local food thing? Practically impossible.

I’m still reading everything and trying, but so far I’ve only succeeded in buying in-state or within ~125 miles for milk, chicken, bread, and muscadine grapes. Plus on our way home from the retreat, we bought peaches at a farm produce stand. I would have bought more, but that’s all they had. And the chicken was more than twice as expensive as the unattributed “greenwise” store brand!

I’m going to continue trying — I have some cautious optimism for the kosher grocery store in a not-too-distant neighborhood. But this may wind up as more of a consciousness raising experience than actually eating locally. For this to work in my house, I think we’re going to have to join a CSA.
