last year my hometown did the 100mile challenge for 100 days , well 6 families did and it was documentated for the food network

[100mile.foodtv.ca]

here the site , unfortunately i missed it .. i woulda loved to try a 100mile vegan challenge for 100days but i didnt find out about it till it was nearly done

theres the link if you want to watch the episodes. i think there is 6 in total but only the first 2 have played the next 4 will be over the next few weeks

if anything i was glad it gave my community some awareness about where our food comes from and whats available locally!

i just found out there is lemons on vancouver island ! ive already contacted the guy about buying some hardy lemon trees to grow in my front yard

i should add this was not vegan or vegetarian, but i think it was a good lesson for the whole community regarding awareness about our food source

that's awesome! i lived in mission bc when i was little, just for the summer though. i remember it being very lush and green with wild deer in the garden. i guess we were doing our own partial 100mile challenge way back then, we sure were growing a lot of our own food!

hey coco thats cool i got a kick catching a glimpse of all the neighborhoods i know lol

my hubby (who is not vegan or raw) couldnt figure out what the problem with some of the folks are (he grew up on salmon, corn an potatoes lol) finding local food

for me it would definitely be more of a challenge .. vegan would be easier .. raw vegan definitely harder especially overwinter

mom says were insanely spoiled generation tho .. imported fruits like citrus in her day was a TREAT hehe
