Lovely team...
This objective seems preferable to me-- Yet such sentiments are so easily derailed with 1984-ish 'double speak', or so it seems... I just received a call to action (or to attention) and a call very related to a 100 mile challenge-- The only action...
We do not have TV either. Thanks for explaining it :)
We have made a point of eating local for a few years. We are at about 80% now, I think.
For a short-term 'challenge' it would be easy.
100 Mile challenge is 100 days of eating/ cooking with things grown / produced within 100 miles of your door. It is also a show following 3 families that try to complete challenge
Don't have a T.V. and missed it. Can you sum it up??? Always looking for a new challenge!!
Did anyone watch 100 mile challenge last night at 9pm on Planet Green.
Is anyone trying to do the 100mile challenge

You have to love it
It is 4:57am and snowing outside yet again . I have a "spare 3 minutes" before I venture down into the barn. I have tried and tested and if I am to be at work on time (7am) I must have my cover alls on over my work clothes at 4:45 and I must be in the barn by 5.I try to give thanks daily for my job in town. But I sure do hope onee day I can aford to stay home and work only on my farm. Tonight when I return I hope to make bread. Does anyone have a good and easy recipe?

Thanks for posting Laura. What's the best way for Portland people to support this? If we subscribe could we get our shrimp through Crown of Maine delivery (to the buying clubs?) perhaps?

Hi Marjolaine,
I've found The Forager's Harvest by Samuel Thayer to be a great resource. It's not specific to Maine, but rather tries to include plants that are fairly ubiquitous.
