Prepping for 100 miles...

I just finished a book called 'Plenty-One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally' by Alisa Smith and JB MacKinnon. I decided the best way to follow this up was to begin my own journey...one year? Hopefully! I thought to start with 100 days of 100 miles made sense because it sounded good, then decided if I am going to do this then might as well try to do it the hard way!
I did some research today and found some great websites where I can get some information, recipes, and places to get food. PLUS many of these resource sites have FB pages with many others trying the same thing!
Today was also some prep time at the homestead. I cleared spaces in the cupboards and the refrigerator for my local foods and have my significant other on board with me! :)
I have a map of my 100 mile radius and the number of places within that space put me at ease a bit. I will post a pic of my map soon.
Next step- Check out localharvest.org for a list of farms, markets, and places for food buying.
My "official" start date for my year challenge is August 2nd...
