I just devoured Animal, Vegetable, Mineral by Barbara Kingsolver. Literally, I read it in a week. It follows the story of a family who chooses to buy only locally grown foods for one entire year. It helps that they live on a farm. Although, if you're like me and you don't particularly yearn for long days toiling in the garden, you could just shop your local farmer's market. This is yet another in a series of books I am reading about food - next in line is The Omnivore's Dilemma. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral is a must read for anyone who has their own garden or is interested in improving their quality of life through improving their food.

Read it! And now we subscribe to a CSA! Enough said. I was very inspired by that book. I recommend "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon
