Perhaps you have heard about it - The 100 Mile Diet. Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon found themselves stranded in an off-the-grid cabin in the Canadian wilderness. When it was time to eat, they turned to the land around them. Trout from the stream, mushrooms from a meadow, wild apples. It was satisfying, both from a nutritional and a spiritual standpoint. Could they possibly eat this way in their everyday lives?
After researching the origins of the foods they ate everyday, they were shocked to find that the average food item traveled thousands of miles from the farm to the table. Appalled by this, Alisa and J.B. decided to try to eat more locally and set a very ambitious goal, for one year they would eat only food produced within 100 miles of their Vancouver home. I bet they wished they had something like Chenango-Madison Bounty in their area!
Watch for the CNY Bounty Challenge - coming soon.
