Paul and I have decided on a challenge. We aren't sure yet if we will do this in February or March or at all. You've seen the 100 mile challenge or heard of it, right? They had a television show about it awhile back (okay, it may have been years ago) in which people could only food products made within 100 miles of their house.
Well our challenge is similar, but different. What if we spent a month only buying items available for purchase at small businesses? No Walmart, no Target, no grocery, no Babies R Us. I think the grocery aspect of it will be the most challenging because where will we buy milk, meat, etc.? In the summer it may be easier because there are so many farms up here and last summer I bought produce almost exclusively at the farm stand near our house (they also carried local milk and eggs although I didn't buy any). We may do a farm share with a friend for spring and then maybe carry it into the summer share.
So, what do y'all think? Can we do it? Could you?
