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.

Duck in Apple and Port sauce

Duck bought at the East Midlands Food Fair today.  I roasted the legs after flash frying them.  Added apple and port to the roasting pan to make a lovely sauce.   To be truly local I could have used Elderberry Wine which tastes very much like port.  The breasts I pan-friend separately.  It was a real luxury but worth it when you get access to such exceptional local produce.
