Sautee Locavore: 2015

My locavore project

In a desire to eat locally grown food and use local products, I am using this blog to help spread awareness of what products we an get locally.

I am updating a local shopping list of where to get all of the local products that we use.

I am also sharing recipes made with local ingredients.

Click on 'Local Shopping List' under 'Labels' to see a local shopping list of products and sellers.

Click on 'recipes' (or categories, 'breakfast', 'lunch', 'dinner', 'appetizer', 'dessert', 'main dish', 'side dish') under 'Labels' to see an array of different recipes using local ingredients!

My goal is for my family to live simply, locally, & abundantly.

There will still be some products that we cannot get locally (sugar, oil, TP, rice, etc.),

but I hope to cut down on items needed at chain stores.

We are trying to buy most of those products in bulk to cut down on waste, costs, and clean up our carbon footprint.

I want my family to support local businesses and eat healthier!

I feel that if we know where our food and products are coming from, we will grow to respect every item more.

It is important to me that my family not be exposed to GMO's, hormones, a large amount of pesticides, chemicals, etc.

By buying local, you support your local economy, businesses, jobs, and families.

Please feel free to share on this blog! Let me know what goods you are finding locally & what recipes you are creating.

Thank you to the many people who make eating locally possible!
Thanks for your vision, hard work, and love for food! We support you!

Blessings! Jessi

Locavore . . .

A locavore is a person interested in eating food that is locally produced, not moved long distances to market. The locavore movement in the United States and elsewhere was spawned as interest in sustainability and eco-consciousness became more prevalent.

The food may be grown in home gardens or grown by local commercial groups interested in keeping the environment as clean as possible and selling food close to where it is grown. One often cited, but not universal, definition of "local" food is food grown within 100 miles of its point of purchase or consumption.
