Want to eat more local food and support your farmers?
For 10 days, eat food grown within 100 miles of home,
with just 10 exotics (foods from afar you can’t live without).
During the 2020 pandemic, we all experienced Empty Shelves Syndrome.
We saw the truth: grocery stores are the end point of the global, industrial-scale, just-in-time food system.
Grocery stores don’t have food. They stock food.
