One Local Summer

Loading ...The 2008 One Local Summer sign ups are going on now at Farm to Philly. I am committed to eating local all summer starting now for me. Just the other night we had the best salad in the world from edible wildflowers (redbud blossoms, borage) home grown on our terrace lettuce, cilantro, hazelnuts from grandpa’s tree, chive blossoms, mint also from his garden, little strawberries the grandma planted years ago and were lost in the weeds with a homemade vinegarette with honey, hooch vinegar (made from wine dregs) and local olive oil. We will be making variations of this salad all summer long with different edible wild flowers.
One Local summer is a group blog that not only talks about all things localvore, but also shares recipes, gardening tales, and national and international news bits that impact us all. One Local Summer will begin this year on Sunday, June 1 and will run until Sunday, August 31.
The rules will remain the same: create at least one meal each week during the challenge that’s made entirely of locally grown ingredients (the acceptable exceptions: salt and pepper, oil, spices). Post your meal(s) to your blog (or for those without blogs, you can email in a report about your challenge meal). Posts broken down by region will be posted at Farm to Philly that detail what everyone’s doing!
