Hi, all. Yesterday, some residents of Richmond, Indiana assembled to see how well they could meet a particular "eat local" challenge: could they produce a meal for each other where all of the ingredients came from within 100 miles of their home? We called it the 100-Mile Radius Potluck, and you can see a video about the results here:

I've heard from some people that the first week was difficult. Farmers markets do not have an abundance of produce yet, although that will change in the next few weeks. Are you overwhelmed? On the verge of giving up? Tell us what you need help with. Also tell us your successes. Maybe you've found some things easier than expected.

Does anyone have experience canning with a pressure cooker canner? I have a Mirro 12 quart canner, but have not used it because I have not found anyone who has used one recently (my grandmother, at 90, was not so keen to volunteer!). A couple of us in my neighborhood are interested in learning if anyone is open to teaching.
Thanks, angie

Share your experiences this summer on vacation trying to eat local.
I'm in Key West, FL for this week and have had a great time with the challenge. Local grouper for dinner last night and the house we're staying in has all sorts of fruit growing in the yard. Paypaya for fruit salad tonite!

So my last few Saturdays have been really busy. My next few Saturdays are really busy. Farmer's Markets are usually on Saturdays. I've joined a CSA but they haven't started yet. Where can a person buy local except at a Saturday farmer's market? Do we have to go directly to the farms?

Hey there. I was so inspired after reading "Animal, Vegetable, and Miracle" that I would like to spend my summer working on an organic/natural farm (I'm a teacher.) Does anyone by any chance have any leads of any not too far from Indianapolis? Thanks!

In her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" (p. 76), Barbara Kingsolver's husband Steven Hopp says that small farms are not only more environmentally responsible but also maximize profits. He claims that the reason they cannot stay in business is due to marketing. Supermarkets prefer to buy truckloads of vegetables from one operation rather than several smaller ones. How do we get the food from these smaller farmers to the customers that want to buy them? Let's hear your ideas.

I am curious if anyone has a new year resolution that relates to sustainability.
I am going to work on riding my bike to work at least one day a week during the cold weeks and all but one time a week during the warmer months.

Does any one know of the new store in the downtown area? I heard that it sells mostly local items, but I can't remember what it is called to find it.

Help us come up with a program for the next festival on the theme of re-imagining Indy. How can we envision the future of Indianapolis together? How can we uncover and marshal our collective assets to imaginatively address the issue of sustainability?

This one room pioneer building was built around 1860 replacing log church built around 1840 for congregation which had met in Judge Prather's home on nearby Otter Creek from 1816. Church has lights and furnaces in ceiling, all original furnishings, has a labyrinth for reflection in adjacent cemetery. Has always had compost toilet. Turns breakers off between services since installation of new thermostat. Meets quarterly, third Sundays March, June, September, December, usually close to Spring and Fall Equinoxes and Winter and Summer Solstices. Circuit Riders served this congregation and it is still added to a two point charge in South Indiana Conference, Columbus District, Rush Branch Charge, near location of Friendly Persuasion movie setting. Large multitrunk hackberry has presided over entrance for many generations. 7 generations of same family buried in cemetery. This is sustainable Indiana. Contact Susan Heitzman heitzman@seidata.com
