Join me in a scavenger hunt for local in-season food. Complete the scavenger hunt or recipe challenge and you can win FREE access to one of my popular online on-demand classes.
Eating local scavenger hunt
The details are simple. First, look over the table of local products available at this time of year. Next, visit a local farm (don’t forget your CSA share pick up), farm stand, farmers market or pick-your own. You may want (or need) to visit more than one to find most of the items on the list. Buy as many representative foods as you can find (remember that weather and other conditions affect availability so you may not find everything). Finally, snap a picture of the bounty you collected. Minimum 9 items from scavenger hunt required for entry into drawing. Submit a photo (or collage) of the foods you found (include the scavenger hunt table in the photo) by visiting Summer 2021 Eating Local Scavenger Hunt to be entered to win. If you have bored kids in the house get them involved and visit a farm together.
The Challenge: Find and share one recipe that uses local ingredients
Look for recipe ideas that use local ingredients. Many CSA and farm websites offer recipes that showcase their goods. Find a recipe (or create one) that uses the ingredients you found. How many ingredients can you include for a colorful meal? I encourage you to snap a picture of your creation (or make a photo collage if you use the items in a variety of recipes). Submit your photo by visiting Summer 2021 Eating Local Scavenger Hunt to be entered to win. Please include recipe name(s) and source (if applicable) in your entry.
Enjoy your local bounty! There are many products offered for sale by local farms. Meat, preserves or jam, butter are just a few examples. Include any other delicious local products in your submission.
