Robert Trent and I are diving on in. We share office space at Sierra Commons. He lives in town, I live on the Ridge. We’re both committing to eating ALAP – As Local As Possible – and we’re adding an element: we’re gonna see who needs to travel the least to get our already low-traveled food stuffs.

So on Day One Mike Ate: Eggs from my next door neighbor’s farm. Picked roadside blackberries down the street (I made a crumble with my nephew – most of the grains used were local, butter as well.), meat from Chaffin Farms via the NC Farmers Market, and veggies – corn, beans, arugula – from our Mountain Bounty CSA box which we get right up on Tyler Foote.

And my LOCAvore article ran in the LOCAL paper.

Robert – weren’t you on a plane? Any local peanuts in the pretzel snack mix?

Reality check from Mike: Coffee. I won’t – and haven’t given up coffee. I’ll probably down some peanut butter this month, too. More reality checks as the month progresses…

Robert?
