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.

Asparagus soup

This was a cheap soup as I used only onions, veg stock and the woody stalks of the home-grown asparagus. I then liquidised and sieved. It made a very light but tasty soup which was perfect for this evening as it is so hot! Served with home-made bread.
