Each post documents where the foods came from. I raised a large chunk of them. My family also hunted or were given hunted animals from the local area, I stored foods from neighbors and foraged areas within two miles of my home. I bought foods from the local greenhouse, a better-than-organic farm, from which I often biked or walked. Finally, I picked fruit and tomatoes and gleaned potatoes from neighbors in my hometown.
