How to: Take the Eat Local Challenge

The blog Life Begins at 30 has begun hyping May as the "Eat Local Challenge Month." The challenge is to find all your food from within a 100-mile radius (quite similar to the 100-mile diet we covered before) for an entire month, and this can be a pretty tricky thing to pull off, especially if you don't live in or very near an agricultural area. So how do you take the challenge if you live in, say, Boston, like one of their readers? Among their tips and resources for eating local are LocalHarvest.org, chatting up the local Whole Foods, and sourcing from local, smaller co-ops. There's a whole section of the blog committed to the challenge for learning more about sourcing, buying and enjoying local food. ::Life Begins at 30

Life Begins at 30 is a great blog and one that I have had on my RSS feed for a while now.

Even if you don't fully participate in the challenge it is great to support your local farmers through CSA's and local farmer's markets. (I for one, can't find any coffee beans grown in upstate NY... but pledge to buy local where ever I can.)
