100-Mile Thanksgiving

by Jennifer Maiser

Our friends Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon at the 100-mile diet website are hosting the second annual 100-mile Thanksgiving, challenging participants to plan a Thanksgiving meal using food products grown, raised or gathered from within 100 miles of their home.  Check out their website to sign up.  I will be participating to the best of my ability -- bringing dishes made from local products to my family's potluck Thanksgiving dinner.

Jennifer Maiser is the editor of the Eat Local Challenge website.  She is often found behind a camera or writing for her site, Life Begins at 30.

Hi Everyone:

I just wanted to let you all know that we have just released a new audio
podcast, "Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100-Mile Diet" for the
Washington State Food and Nutrition Council that encourages eating local.

Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon the authors of the book Plenty are informative and entertaining in this conference session recording.

I'm doing a variant of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) that I call National Local Food Month (NaLoFooMo). I'm investigating sources for foods local to SE Michigan, writing recipes, and blogging about the results at http://eatclosetohome.wordpress.com/ .

If you're looking for local food resources, stop by! I've even found sources for non-GMO oil grown and expeller pressed in Michigan.
