My goal is 75% local, this time of year I would say our food dollars are more toward the 90% mark. My grocery receipt looks a little like this:

beer

pretzels

baking supplies

olive oil

bananas

avocados

fresh mozzarella

butter

sparkly water

cat food

And from my raised beds garden:

Rouge d’Hiver  and Little Gem lettuces, spinach, green onions, basil, dill, and french breakfast radishes, so far. :)

It feels so good to be buying local! not to mention the amazing meals we have been eating. Smoked Chicken with Heirloom Salads greens, Spring Lamb and Spinach Pizzas, Asparagus Risotto, Spring Pesto Pasta Primavera, Tuna and Farm Egg Salad over Bordeaux Spinach, Bison Burgers with Super Sweet Onions and Crisp Coleslaw. I will be posting recipes for these dishes soon.
