    Bought one of the last local watermelons yesterday. Fed the rind to my wife's horse, Fiona. She thinks watermelon rind is the best treat in the world!

    Makes me wonder why I didn't do this sooner. The difference in flavor by using local products is incredible. I purchased dairy products at the local co-op. I bought chicken and beef from a local farm. Spent a beautiful fall weekend driving in the country to farm stands for local fruits and vegetables. It takes a bit more effort and time to source everything locally but the results are well worth it!

      do you have a local farmers market? I go to mine and all the farms in the area visit so I can get all my shopping done pretty quickly but still get all the fresh ingredients :)
