Eating locally quickly devolves into a punishment diet of root vegetables and tough greens. “Breakfast might be potato and parsnip fritters made with free-range eggs,” Ms. Smith writes. “For lunch, colcannon, the sexed-up name the Irish give to mashed potatoes with kale or cabbage.” Dinner could be fancy: a rutabaga with grated beet and goat cheese, and sunchokes simmered in milk. Sound tempting?

Gotta say it would be much easier where I live as there are thriving farmers markets in 3 directions. And I get beef from a local guy and my kids raise pork and lamb for home consumption, also locally available is USDA Elk (really, some dudes farming them here), free range eggs, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, buffalo, beefalo as well as sheep cheese and goat cheese.

Lots of local orchards for apples, cherries, peaches, pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and we can go into the mountains for wild mushrooms and huckleberries.

These peeps are living in the wrong place, move to where the food is.
