A Local Thanksgiving


Local food is climate friendly food

Local food hasn't traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to get to your table

Local food is extra flavorful and delicious

Our turkey is from a farm down the road

One squash is from our neighbor's garden, the other is from a farm 10 minutes away

Our apples for apple pie are from our neighbor's tree

The potatoes we will mash were grown and dug by my husband in our own backyard

If I'm ambitious I will turn a real local pumpkin into pumpkin pie

There are other items in our feast that won't be locally sourced (unless Hannaford counts--ha, it doesn't), but maybe next year we get even more local food

Happy Thanksgiving!
