The Flavor of Local

We are really into the concept of eating what is grown close to home. For us the closer the better.  Local chicken, beef, vegetables and fruit are such a treat for us that some nights when we are sitting down to dinner, we can't help but give thanks for how blessed we are to have our meal come from our farm and local growers. I think that's why we're also such fans of eating wild game. When we take ducks, geese, pheasant, doves, deer, rabbit and squirrel, we think that it's such a blessing to be able to eat something that carries the flavor of its local habitat so strongly. If you live down South and take a deer that lives in the woods, they call it an acorn-deer, not just because of what it eats, but also because of the distinctive flavor of the deer from what it eats. Here we have the luxury of animals that are flavored by alfalfa hay, corn, soybeans and some small grains.  What a blessing it is. I hope that you get to enjoy some too.
