Four of us (Carolyn, Rod, Penny and Bev) are now into our fifth week of six weeks eating locally. I hope some of you have been following our blog on the CCF website! We have been asked if other people can join in – yes, you can! If you want to join us, email me (Bev) and we will tell you how to access the blog.
We would like to keep the discussion going after the six weeks – lots of interesting issues have come up – it hasn’t just been a list of what we ate (although there has of course been some of that + how we sourced our food). We are also planning to compile a list of our sources to put on the “resources” section of the CCF website as a downloadable pdf. One of the issues that came up is the fact that local doesn’t necessarily mean low carbon – we need to eat meat and dairy sparingly, even if it is organic and local. I must say it’s been rewarding and fun, if a bit frustrating at times (especially if, like me, you can’t eat food with gluten in…..) Try it and see!
