For the month of September 2007, I will eat nothing but what was grown in the county where I live: Humboldt County, California. My two exceptions are salt and pepper.
Why?
To prove that it can be done. To reduce the miles my food travels to the smallest possible, and discover what that is like. I have no illusions that everyone should live like this all the time, but I believe that a lot can be discovered by taking local to the extreme. This is my month long meditation on local food.
