Indiana Extension Homemakers are focusing on what their food footprint is. Often we go to our local grocery store and purchase foods to feed our family, some of it comes a long way from the field or ranch to our plates. Homemakers are focusing on getting to know more about our food sources and being intentionally when we purchase or raise our foods. Take up this challenge with us, try to buy foods and eat foods that were raised within a 100 mile radius from home. So visit your local butcher, farmer's market, garden produce stands, community co-ops, community gardens, neighbor's shared bounty or even your own produce and meats and eggs. When you do, note how far away that food was raised, and what you did with it and when you and your family consumed it. Eating out? Try to find a restaurant that focuses on locally grown foods. Use this handy guide to help you keep track.
