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.

Pumpkin and sweetcorn chowder

This was enjoyed by all.  The recipe is a basic pumpkin soup (liquidised) and then with sweetcorn and fried onions and roasted pumpkin added.   All the ingredients were homegrown apart from the soya sauce, stock cube and fish sauce used to season.  It was definitely a hearty meal and really seasonal.
