The Hundred Mile Diet Challenge is our simple experiment: is it feasible to sustain ourselves on food that is grown or raised within 100 miles of where we live?
I have been trying for a few years to feed my family a healthy and organic diet as much as I can. Then recently, we watched a documentary called No Impact Man about a family in NYC who tried to live for a year without making a net impact on the environment. After sitting and discussing the movie for awhile we decided we wanted to try to implement some of their ideas in our family, mainly the 100 mile diet.
The reason we want to try comes down to what we believe in and how we want to live. We want our lives to reflect what we value. We want to make conscious choices. We believe in small business and the entrepreneurial spirit and want to support it. We believe in and want to support small farmers who care for the land and their animals in organic and sustainable ways. We want to eat healthy foods that nourish our bodies the way nature intended.
I have read other blogs like this one and have found them helpful and encouraging. I hope that this blog will be the same for others who might also be taking the HMD challenge.
