go local - week 6

I know that I jump from week 3 to week 6 on the go local challenge this week...I missed a couple weeks with the trip to New Orleans and then the trip to Donnelly with Tracey and Mom (more on that soon.) The local eating group is now on week 6, so I think it would be easiest if we just jump ahead to week 6 also.

Our local meal

We had a local eating feast this week! Our local plate this week consisted of baked sandwiches with Parma sourdough bread (baked locally...I don't think it is made with local ingredients though), grilled ball zucchini, sauteed red onion and red, white, and blue baby potatoes, fresh basil and lettuce from the garden. Our sides were grilled red, white and blue potatoes with rosemary from the garden and sea salt, fresh red raspberries, and grilled apricots.

Beautiful red, white and blue potatoes from Lazy Dog Farms at the Edward's Market

I found our food in three different places: Edward's Greenhouse Tuesday Market, Nampa Farmer's Market, and Spyglass Gardens. I love all of these places, but if you haven't been to Spyglass Gardens you should really go check them out. It is the cutest backyard garden with the friendliest people. They happily show you around the farm and their produce prices can't be beat! I bought a pound of apricots, a zucchini, a cucumber, about two servings of green beans, and a red onion for under three dollars!
