I am getting there slowly on this – food miles is something I am very conscious of. I have now got to the point where I am at least buying European when I buy my produce so I am either at the start or tail end of the UK season. Haven’t managed to go all UK yet though.

Another way to take advantage of seasonal bounty is to freeze or can for later use. Berries are especially easy and we enjoy good ones year round by freezing them. Locally produced meat is another great deal–it’s much cheaper per pound to buy a pig or cow locally raised and butchered. At our butcher we pay $1.80/pound total for a half beef–same price for ground beef, steaks, roasts, you name it. Better quality any way you cut it (hahaha).
