Daily Post's Living Local series

As promised, here are the links to our series about trying to eat local for a week, in case anyone missed it in the paper. There's also a story about a Loganville couple who raises their own animals, vegetables, fruits and more in their backyard farm.

June's book

Our book pick for June is "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life,"
by Barbara Kingsolver. It's a nonfiction account of the acclaimed author's
(she wrote "The Poisonwood Bible" and "The Bean Trees," among others)
attempts to eat off the land, eating only seasonal, local foods and things
her family grows for themselves.

Here's a link to the NPR broadcast interview that Eddie Suttles from the
library was telling us about at the meeting, in case anyone's interested in
checking it out:
