223987267 8f30156cf6 m 100 mile diet series compiledAt long last, I capped my 100-Mile Diet series on Treehugger with a final post today. Looking back, I found I started the Treehugger series back in November last year! That’s like, only 1.2 posts a month! Initially, I’d told Treehugger I would write a post every 2 weeks or so. I’m such a delinquent 100-miler –

My 100-mile diet adventures actually started before that, when I intro’d the idea here on August 2006. A recap:

An intro to the 100-mile diet: Supporting organic and local farming while reducing your fossil-fuel-dependent food miles.

Fruits and veggies in a box: Organic produce delivery and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs.

The farmer’s market in Santa Monica: One of them’s gone zero-waste!

My first gardening lesson, sort of. Slow food meets 100-mile diet –

I never promised you a tomato garden: The first Treehugger post in this series, in which I make up my own rules for my 100-mile diet.

Insta-Garden, Insta-Meal: Shopping at the farmers’ market, a new herb garden, and a yummy plate of local appetizers.

Grass-Fed Bison, anyone?: Getting your protein on the 100-mile diet, from bison to tofu.

Bread! What to do when Cali-grown wheat is not suitable for human consumption –

Liquid dinner: Aka organic Cali wine recommendations.

100-mile diet finale: Coffee, bananas, chocolate — and the intersections between local, organic, and fair trade.

The series may be ending, I’m not quitting my caffeine-fueled version of the 100-mile diet –

  1. I was interested to see you’ve been looking into organic wines. I just wrote a piece for 944 magazine on that. In the course of my research I discovered some great wines that re either organic, Biodynamically grown or the wineries practiced sustainable viticulture. Mendocino County has a lot of organically produced wines.
    I particularly liked a Sauvignon Blanc from Patianna, Mendocino County. It was excellent, and produced Biodynamically.I ffound it at Greenblatt’s on Sunset, for $14.99
