Eating Paleo Locally


Ingredients: 1/2 eggplant, 1/2 albino eggplant, 1/2 yellow squash, 1/2 zucchini, 1 red onion, 1 stalk broccoli, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 pound Dr. Elkins grassfed beef.

This post is for those who are interested in the buying local movement. It's sustainable, better for the environment, better for our local economy etc... Also, it can be quite tasty and incredibly healthy. This meal in its entirety was purchased from Pete's Produce Farm in Westtown. All of the vegetables were grown on site at Pete's Produce Farm. The beef came from nearby Buck Run Farms.

Yummmmm... I'd estimate the entire dish was about 1100-1300 calories depending on the fat content of the beef which is not listed. The vegetables totaled ~$6 while the beef was $8.95.

I decided to get all Michael Pollan and find out exactly where this meal was coming from. Since I already had seen where the vegetables came from all I had to do is track down my beef. Coming soon, my trip to Buck Run Farms and visit with Dr. Elkins.
