The Hundred Mile Diet Part Three

The Tyee has an ongoing series called the Hundred Mile Diet; they recently posted the third installment.

The third installment was one I quite enjoyed and could feel kinship with – YES! Finally talking about what’s possible and available locally instead of ranting about the evils of fossil fuels and globalization (both of which are facts of life, like gravity).

Peach season is finally upon us, the tail end of cherry and blueberry season is overlapping this nicely, and there is a bounty of fresh local produce available.

It’s a great time of year!

And once the local fruits and vegetables fade into fall and winter, we’ll start buying bananas and oranges again. Because they’ll be in season, even if they’re not local.
