Food Independence

Burger at Home: 4th of July

Burger at Home: 4th of July

In the spirit of “Food Independence Day” we decided to cook up a pretty traditional meal for the 4th, and took the challenge to source our food pretty close to home.  Here’s how I think we did:

  • Grass-fed beef and potatoes from Sabol’s Farm (26 miles)
  • Bun from Le Garden Bakery (13 miles)
  • Mushrooms (Pennsylvania)
  • Onions (unknown)
  • Lettuce (CSA, Early Morning Farm, 20 miles)
  • Eggs and dill from Kingbird Farm (16 miles)
  • Swiss cheese (Imported)
  • Dressing ingredients (not local, but all US – including olive oil from California)

What did your family eat?  Any fresh fruits where you live?
