Over the past few months there has been much written and commented on here at DJ about the value of eating food that is produced locally. Now the people at the 100 mile diet are giving those who believe that local is the new organic or that local food is simply fresher an opportunity to walk their talk.

September is harvest time for many of us and the fresh local food is in the local farmers' markets at roadside stands and if you are lucky even at your supermarket. This is a great month to learn more about what food is grown and produced in your community.
