Since I've started to read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver, I've been thinking a lot about incorporating more local foods into my family's diet. We already eat our own farm-fresh eggs and we drink milk from the farm down the road but we could be doing a lot more. So this morning I ventured over to Pineland Farms Market and came away with all of the following local fare:
Grandy Oats-Maine Grown Rolled Oats
Little Lad's- Original Granola
New Gloucester Village Store Bakery-Honey Wheat Bread
Olivia's Garden, New Gloucester- Fresh Basil & Spring Mix
Pineland Farms- Chicken Salad & Harvest Salsa
Pineland Farms Creamery- Cheddar & Fresh Cheese CurdsPineland Farms Natural Meats- Boneless Shoulder Steak & Ground Beef
The Farmer's Eight Daughters-No Bake CookiesI love that all of the items are made locally, have minimal packaging, and didn't break my food budget. I love that I was the only shopper in the store and could shop at my own pace. Also, as I drove the 6-8 minutes back to my house, I realized that this market (filled with local foods) is closer to my home than the grocery store (filled with food from who knows where) which is 20 minutes away. So I saved gas to boot! I am feeling so much more inspired now!
