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 pizza

Another great use for asparagus, which is just put on the pizza raw, sprinkled with oil and then baked in a hot oven for 10 minutes. I didn't use cheese, but did make a tomato sauce (sadly tinned tomatoes, so not local), but local onions, home-grown garlic and loads of home-grown herbs. This was eaten with my friend Jo, whilst talking about local food and how to promote it (and make money from it? Not so easy!)
