Welcome

This is an attempt to document my efforts to grow and eat locally around Melbourne, Derbyshire. My family own a nine acre smallholding on which we grow fruit and vegetables and keep bees, and chickens, but that won't feed us alone, so the idea is to get to know our local produce and to see how easy/hard it is to follow a diet that is local to within 30 miles. The fun part is also trying some new (easy) recipes that use home-grown and local produce. Feel free to comment, send in recipes, and share your experiences of buying and eating locally.

Wild garlic soup

I went to Ticknall Garden Club's plant sale this morning and they had wild garlic on sale, picked locally this morning. So for lunch we had wild garlic soup, which was made in 10 minutes by just frying a chopped onion in butter until soft and then adding a large potato and a colander full of wild garlic. I then added water to cover and two teaspoons of veg stock powder. I simmered until the potatoes were soft and then liquidised. The result was a tasty soup and not overpowering as you would expect.
