This is the book that started this whole new journey for me, thus inspiring me to keep a sort of journal of my experiences through this new blog. I had read other fiction novels by Kingsolver and when I was reading over her book list I stumbled upon this one. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but knew it was about food (which I LOVE) and growing it yourself (something I am getting into) so I gave it a shot. For a non fiction book it was still a page turner for me. With each page I turned it felt like I was getting closer to home. After the first few chapters I knew this was a lifestyle I wanted to try. Pure good food the way nature intended it. Knowing what was going into my body on a meal by meal basis.
So what is this blog about exactly? It is about journeying into the world of locavores (please see definition on the left). What it takes to become one. The sacrifices. The payoffs. The new tastes and experiences. Now, I want to put out there right away that I am by no means jumping off the cliff all or nothing here. This is something I plan on easing into and eventually settling into on a more permanent basis. I also want to say that I pass no judgment on those who disagree or choose to continue eating Doritos and chicken nuggets :) I am not a preacher, just someone who wants to share their own experiences.
With all that said, I invite you to partake in my journey in any form you wish, reader, observer, dabbler, die hard, friend, foe, supporter, or skeptic.
