Lucky us, in this area of California. We
constantly dine on locally produced vegetables and fruit. Meat comes from
CA, while not necessarily this area. If we ate more meat, we would kill
from our own herd, but we two eat so much less than we did when we were young,
that it would be a huge waste to kill a whole beef. It would probably last three
years!
Organic is big in our locality, and several markets buy
locally-grown organic veggies. Strawberries are big in this county,
too. Lud has his own raspberry patch and we live on those from late May
until late fall. Yummmmm!
To try to keep this on topic, horse manure makes great fertilizer.
"If every us citizen ate just one meal a week composed of locally and
organically raised meats and produce we would reduce our conuntry's oil
consupmtion by over 1.1 million BARRELS of oil every WEEK." Animal,
Vegetable, Miracle by Barb ara Kingsolver (non fiction
narrative)
