So, I have some sad news this week. As much as love the blog hop that Kristy and I started, my work life has just gotten too stressful to do all the work I need to do to keep this going. It's not just typical starting a new school year at a new school thing. My department chair sort of disappeared and the department (all of whom are experienced teachers, but new to the school) have been picking up the slack. I'm exhausted. I seriously slept for 15 hours on Saturday.
I've been kind of a terrible blog hop host anyway. I don't think I've commented on anyone's posts in weeks and I haven't been giving you all the credit you all deserve for your amazing real-food, seasonal posts. Frankly, Kristy has been picking up all of the slack. So until further notice this is the Fresh Foods Link Up hosted by Kristy, of Gastronomical Sovereignty. Please go link up there next week. When things get back to normal, maybe she'll let me come back ;-)
That said, I don't even have final picks. I'm pretty lame. Sorry.
And now, time to blog hop! If you're new here, Kristy and I are pleased to have you. If you've been before, we're also pleased to have you.
The Serious Business:
This blog hop is to encourage fresh food production, consumption, activism, and awareness.
Please feel free to link up:
- CSA collections;
- Farmer's market treasures;
- Home grown/raised hauls;
- Recipes that feature fresh fruits and veggies that are seasonal to your area or feature local, sustainably farmed meats, eggs, and dairy;
- DIY projects and tutorials for: gardening, storing and/or preserving fresh foods, composting market scraps, raising chickens in your back yard, etc
- Tips for local eating such as: tips for CSA members, how to find out what’s in season, how to make the most of your local produce, how to raise chickens, etc
Please make sure anything you link up is something that is currently available in your area from a local farmer or things from Whole Foods with the giant “Local” sign on top (or similar).
Please do not link up:
- Any highly processed recipes or foods (i.e. white flour, white sugar),
- Recipes that don’t include any seasonal, local produce, meats, dairy, or eggs.
- Recipes that feature produce that isn’t available locally and in season (e.g. mangoes and avocados in the Northeast, fresh tomatoes in winter, etc)
