It’s a double basket this week, the last of the growing season. It’s actually really sad… because the quality of the organic produce at, say, Loblaws isn’t very good. Plus, winter is approaching so that means I’ve got to buy far-off sourced organics. Not good. But what choice do you have when you live in this climate… Delicata squash, roquette, lettuce, onions, parsnips, turnips, regular and purple carrots, as well as daikon and sage. These are what I’ll have to cherish and preserve for as long as humanly possible.

I wonder if anyone in Quebec has tried to eat 100% locally throughout the entire calendar year. It really wouldn’t be easy these days and definitely would be a challenge. That’s why I’m minimally content with 20 strong weeks of locally sourced food. Obviously 52 would be better, but would involve some planning and it certainly wouldn’t be 100% organic. I’m just thinking aloud…

The benefits of eating locally can be found here, btw.
