Glad you like the post. That's how I started with local food. Then I started on an 'Eat Who You Know' program - only buying from local producers that we had met. Then it just got more and more local until I reached my own back garden.

Worth starting with some microgreens on a windowsill. They grow easily and quickly. About 10 days after sowing hey presto you have your own salad leaves. Salad leaf independence is pretty easy - even in the winter.
