Locavore
Locavore - Someone who eats foods from their local or regional foodshed or a determined radius from their home (commonly either 100 or 250 miles, depending on location).
100 to 250 miles?
Lessee. Baked goods, meat and cheese all produced in the neighborhood. Those eggs come from a near-by farmer..
They arrived nestled in a carton with a note that says the following:
One Dozen Ungraded, All Natural Free-Range Eggs. Thank you for buying locally and choosing our eggs! Our hens are pastured, fed a natural diet and live in a stress-free environment. Ideal conditions for them mean the highest quality food for you.
(The expiration date is penned by hand).
I dined upon venison this weekend harvested less than a half mile from the house. Accompanied by vegetables from my garden
I must be an extreme locavore. Maybe even a radical.
