Liz and Rhaya are taking a one-week long eat local challenge and writing about it on Green-Lemonade.com. Liz lives in Albany, NY and Rhaya lives in Indianapolis, IN. Today is day four of their attempt, and they are doing great!
One exciting outcome of their challenge is that they are finding new products near their homes that they didn't know existed. In Liz's words:
So in the first day I have already enjoyed two foods, edamame and black beans, that I never would have thought were grown in New York. Over the weekend while shopping for groceries for this week, I was really surprised to learn that foods like these can be purchased from local sources and it made me think about how out of touch I am, as are many others I’m sure, with where my foods really come from and what the local farm community really consists of.
Rhaya found local mead, and is finding recipe help with an Indiana-focused site called Going Local. Keep an eye on the progress of the Green Lemonade women through the "going local" section of their site.
(Aside from all that eat local talk, they also have a killer website design!)
