Take the Dark Days Challenge!

Sunday, November 02, 2008

I nearly forgot that it’s down to the last few days to sign up for the Dark Days Challenge, a seasonal eating challenge that follows the Winter months.  The challenge lasts from November 15 to March 15.  One Local Summer, the Summer months version, may be hosted here at Farm to Philly, but I have no guilt in admitting that OLS is the easier challenge of the two....at least for many of us.

Here in Southeast PA and the surrounding areas, it’s not all that hard.  I mean, we have Winter CSAs, the Farm to City Winter Harvest buying club, more than a few year-round farmer’s markets, and places like the Fair Food Farmstand that are open year-round and supply all sorts of seasonal vegetables and fruit.  Plus, if you’ve been canning and freezing the Summer harvest, you’re probably all set.  But it’s still a little more difficult to eat seasonally in the Winter than in the Summer, especially from a variety point of view.

At any rate, don’t forget to sign up for the Dark Days Challenge!  I just signed up today, and I’ll be doing my update posts here at Farm to Philly!
