What about breads, cereals, etc?
May 17 2008, 8:55 AM EDT How can you eat locally when grains are not generally grown here? Tell us your answers. What's the best alternative? Do you find this valuable? |

May 18 2008, 9:31 AM EDT This is a great question. I've been wondering if anyone in the state even has resources. Beans as well. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: What about breads, cereals, etc?
May 18 2008, 10:16 AM EDT I found an article written by Ann Leatherman (Oct 2007) in Hoosier Organic Gardener that might be helpful to people. http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:uWq--NcENsgJ:gardeningnaturally.org/HOG%2520Oct%252007.pdf+marie+smietana&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&client=firefox-a In a nutshell, she lists these priorities for eating locally: 1. Priority is in season local fruits and vegetables. 2. U.S. for fruits likes oranges and grapefruits (in season only). 3. Bread baked locally from U.S. wheat or other grains 4. Local, non organic when organic is not available. 5. Fair trade, organic for products from other countries like tea, coffee, sugar, etc. This was her list. Each person should come up with their own list that they are comfortable with. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

non-produce
May 21 2008, 7:55 PM EDT I think we should start a list/database of where people are finding things. As you've pointed out, the fruits and veggies are fairly easy. Where though do we find all the other stuff? Maybe we can add them all on to one list. Maybe this one. Also a list for things that people can make at home, like non-dairy milk or catsup or stuff like that. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: non-produce
May 23 2008, 1:37 PM EDT You can find locally produced bread here in Indy without too much trouble. In the summer we have so much to eat out of our garden we just eat less bread, rice, and so on. One could also make their own bread. I used to have a sour dough starter and it was pretty easy to make 3 loaves a week. Do you find this valuable? |

May 29 2008, 10:55 PM EDT Indiana does have several mills. One that comes to mind is Wilmot Mill, I used to see them at the Broad Ripple market. They're Web site address is http://www.wilmotmill.com/ . I believe they offer online sales as well. The price per pound is higher than conventional but good food is worth the trade-off. Someone mentioned a list of local food sources. I know several exist ... The Weston A. Price Foundation local chapter offers a quite extensive list. You can find a list online at http://www.indywapf.org/ . Do you find this valuable? |

RE: What about breads, cereals, etc?
Jun 3 2008, 8:03 PM EDT I went by the Goose store the other day. It's at 25th and Delaware in Indy. The owner is a neat (and very young) guy. He seemed pretty knowledgeable about IN food. He had ketchup and BBQ sauce from IN, as well as lots of meats and cheese. He is planning on having lots of produce in the next few weeks. He said, though, that he did not know any local sources for beans and grains. Next I want to check out Edibles on East Washington. Do you find this valuable? |
