halifaxearthtechI wrote the preceding blog post two weeks ago and then got extremely ill. So I'm posting them now. Partly as a result of my illness I've come to realise that my locavore practice is limited so long as I continue to shop at grocery stores.
So I'm going to try as far as possible to phase large chain grocery stores out of my life, to be replaced by Speerville, ordering coops, small grocery stores, farmers markets and ordering from farmers directly.
This afternoon as I was buying shampoo at a large chain grocery store (the kind I get is cheaper there) I realized that there is no local maritime producer of malt/dandelion coffee substitute. Yes, I quit coffee too. That and sugar might spell social suicide for me. But there is an opportunity for someone to create this beverage! Entrepreneurs, get on this now! Until you do I will be roasting my own dandelion coffee as I like to have something hot and bitter to drink in the morning.
Stay tuned for more on this adventure.
