My local food

This is the local portion of what I'm currently eating. Produce is grown on the farm, except as noted. Prepared foods contain mainly local ingredients, not necessarily organic. Fall 2011:

In our field: Carrots, cauliflower, kale

Cool storage: Garlic, onions, potatoes, pumpkins, winter squash

Fridge: -

Freezer: Goat, grass-fed beef, spinach
Meats are purchased, local small-farm, more-or-less organic.

Dried: Hot peppers

Bottled: -
