  1. Oh yeah, today is day 1 of September. I entirely forgot. Well, I had some berries that we picked locally earlier in the season today out of the freezer. I honestly ate a lot more local the past four days than today... Well, I did eat about 10 tomatoes out of the garden today, and a blackberry, and some broccoli. Those all had zero food miles. :D
