Of all of that, only the sockeye is not local. OH, I still have that wild shrimp in the freezer, that I paid $1 a pound for.
I go to the supermarket for bananas. Gotta have my cheap potassium.
I get raw goat milk and chicken eggs down the street, but now that I have geese, ducks and chickens, it won't be too long before I never have to buy eggs.
Veggies? I think you get more bang for your buck, both caloric and nutrient wise, from good meat, but when I want veggies, I go to the farmers market, or join a CSA.
It's pretty easy!!!!

I love scallops!!! I do the banana thing too. Do you eat any kind of wheat?
I read in one of those Natural Health magazines a few months ago that Maine was one of the best states about eating local. ME, along with CA and NH, have great companies for cosmetics/personal care too.
