Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
“This is the kind of fast day I’m after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts. What I’m interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families.

Dear Friends, When I started this challenge, I had no idea what to expect. Would anyone participate? Is it really possible to talk about Food and Faith for 13 weeks? Would it be accessible to people who are just starting out trying to eat locally, as well as those who those who have been growing their own food for years?
