Take the Eat Local Milwaukee Challenge
During the first two weeks of the month, Sept. 1-12, the Eat Local Milwaukee Challenge rallies Milwaukeeans to make more conscious decisions about what they consume and where it comes from. Most food travels an average of 15,000 miles from farm to fork, and when that number reduces, so does its carbon footprint on the planet.

Daily dish: Mashed potatoes and turnips with sautéed onions and greens
Just before the summer season this year, we committed to joining a local CSA, which stands for community supported agriculture. We chose Pinehold Gardens, a 21-acre CSA farm in Oak Creek. For the past 18 weeks we have received hearty vegetable shares, the contents of which shift with the changing harvesting season.
