Starting tomorrow I plan to only eat food I buy at one of the many farmers’ markets in the Triangle for 30 days and document it here. I wish there was a deep meaning behind my 30-day quest, but mostly it’s a new creative challenge I want to tackle. Sure, I support buying local and farmers. And I support eating healthy foods (although I’m no health nut). But, I’m mostly giving this challenge a go to expose myself to something new and different and to share the stories and experiences I encounter along the way.
I’ve only shopped at Farmers’ Markets a handful of times, despite the fact that the Triangle has more than half a dozen easily accessible markets. So, I’m going to give my Vic card a break for a month and temporarily bid adieu to Moonlight Pizza and figure out a way to work a lot of fruits and veggies into my meals.
I’ve laid out my general guidelines on my About Page. Here’s me saying goodbye to fast food:
I’m not sure this is very realistic, but hopefully it will force me to step outside of my comfort zone for a little bit this summer. Feel free to cheer for me here and on facebook. I’ll take all the encouragement I can get.
