Starting tonight I'm eating from both my backyard garden AND the local farmers' market. This broadens my culinary (and nutritional) horizons a lot while still being pretty local (although not as local as garden-only). I bought $42 worth of food at the market this morning and hope it will last until next Saturday's market.
