Our favorite reads is about the books that we read and enjoy. Since we are a food company much of what we read is about food, but we do occasionaly read novels and/or whatever we find interesting. We hope that you will want to read some of these books yourself. Perhaps some of them will inspire you as they have inspired us to learn more about the world we live in and the challenges we face while, at the same time, gaining a better understanding of ourselves.
Alisa Smith's and James MacKinnon's experiment in local eating. For a whole year they ate food sourced within 100 miles of their urban apartment in Vancouer. The most important thing we learn from this book is that by eating locally we create community. It is a struggle that turns into an exploration and finally becomes a celebration around the dinner table. This book has become a phenomenon with people from diverse locations such as Scotland, even Antarctica sharing 100 mile eating stories. Sourcing your food within 100 miles allows you to connect with your immediate environment in a memorable way. You learn to share experiences, to make friends and to learn about your community. Something we should all try.
