The Howell Family: Getting Ready

We are getting close to the month of July and the Eat Local Challenge. Since we will be eating all locally grown food we are currently trying to clean out our fridge, freezer and pantry. We are transitioning to local slowly as more foods become available. There are a few foods we are going to miss but we are trying to focus on all of the new fresh foods that are going to be available to us soon! This Saturday we went to the SKY Farmers Market and stocked up. Here is our farmer's market list:
~Chocolate Milk (we still had store bought white milk)
~Cheddar Cheese
~Sour Dough Bread
~Dessert Item (Buttermilk Pie-Yum)
~Dozen Eggs
~Sausage
~Broccoli
~Tomatoes
~Onions
~Squash
~Flavored Tea
~Doggy Biscuit

Next Week's list:
~Chocolate Milk
~White Milk
~Cheddar Cheese
~Sour Dough Bread
~Wheat Bread
~Dessert Item (Probably Cookies)
~2 Dozen Eggs
~Whole Chicken
~Broccoli
~Tomatoes
~Onions
~Squash
~Green's
~Decaffeinated Coffee (Really excited about this!)
And I am sure that there will be more once I get there. That is the exciting thing about this time of year. And as our kitchen contents are dwindling I find myself relieved. We had way too much stuff before. My goal for the month of July is to avoid the major grocery stores all together. So I am having to evaluate what we are currently purchasing and from where. I'll share more later about stocking up on Toilet Paper and making our own Laundry Detergent.
