Eat Local Challenge has announced its fourth annual event, the October 2008 Eat Local Challenge. If you're wondering what that entails, here's the summary from their site:
The traditional Eat Local Challenge is a basic concept: commit to eating only locally grown foods for a period of thirty days. Declare "exceptions" that you will not be eating locally, and try as hard as you can to have everything else come from your local foodshed. "Local" is traditionally a 150-mile distance from your home, but can really be defined as any area near you. Some locavores choose their county, state, or region.
Don't tell my husband, but I am seriously considering signing up.
