Author: Smith, Alisa & Mackinnon, J B

Stranded in their off-the-grid summer cottage with unexpected guests, Smith and MacKinnon caught a trout, picked mushrooms, and mulled apples from an abandoned orchard. Back in Vancouver, they researched their grocery list and discovered that their meals typically traveled over 1,000 miles before being consumed. So they decided on an experiment: for one year they ate only food produced within 100 miles. What began as a struggle eventually became not just a way of eating, but a new way of looking at the world. Now in paper. 272 pp.
